A winter storm that is moving through Massachusetts on Sunday could drop over a foot of snow on some areas.
Heavy snow is expected in northern Mass. and the Merrimack Valley. Up to 15 inches of snow will fall in the “jackpot” area of the storm while the southern bands can see 5 -8 inches and 3-5 inches of snow extending down through Norfolk County. The storm is projected to taper off, turning into a wet mix the closer it gets to Cape Cod.
A winter storm warning has been issued for much of Massachusetts. through 1 am. on Monday.
The warning is in effect in Northern Berkshire, Southern Berkshire, Central Middlesex County, Eastern Franklin, Eastern Hampden, Eastern Hampshire, Northern Worcester, Northwest Middlesex County, Southern Worcester, Western Essex, Western Franklin, Western Hampden, Western Hampshire, Eastern Essex, Eastern Norfolk, Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk, and Western Norfolk counties, according to the National Weather Service.
“The main concern is going to be the snow and some wind, especially for The Cape and the coast, which will result in some scatter power outages, but keep in mind even the spots that are wet today, tonight it will become icy and snow and everything freezes tonight, so I could see some issues on the road even tomorrow morning,” said Meteorologist Shiri Spear in her Sunday morning forecast.
“By 1:00 p.m., just before [Patriots] kickoff, you have snow, probably three to four inches on the ground but on its way out through the afternoon and into the evening,” said Chief Meteorologist Lemanowicz.
Many area churches and religious organizations have already canceled services for Sunday.
