Greater than 6 inches of snow is feasible throughout the area from Saturday evening into Sunday, in response to the Nationwide Climate Service’s Boston workplace.
If that involves fruition, it might be Boston’s largest snowfall of the season.
“There’s the potential for 6 or more inches of snow,” Hayden Frank, meteorologist at NWS Boston, instructed the Herald. “We’re still days out, but it’s looking like plowable snowfall in southern New England.”
The Nationwide Climate Service has issued a “Winter Storm Watch” for all of Massachusetts.
As of Thursday afternoon, there was a 91% probability for greater than 6 inches of snow within the Boston-area. Journey might be very troublesome from Saturday night into Sunday, NWS warned.

The largest query is that if the southward pattern within the observe is completed, or if it’ll sag south — which might lower snow totals north.
“For now, ingredients appear to be lining up for a solid snow maker,” NWS wrote.
“Should these ingredients continue to align with a favorable track, a solid swath of 6+ inches of snow is possible,” NWS added.
