As the wave pulls away, snow will taper off from west to east, ending in western New England by dinnertime and in central Massachusetts by midnight.

Our weekend begins with a few snow showers especially across eastern New England and into the mountains but breaks of sun are in the forecast with temperatures holding in the 30s with a breeze out of the northeast that will keep wind chills values around 20.
A dome of high pressure settles over the region Sunday bringing lots of sunshine with not much of a wind so it will be a pleasant late winter day. Perfect conditions to hit the slopes!
Snow Coverage
Rain and snow return Monday as a disturbance moves in from the Great Lakes and this time around it is short lived so it will be gone by Tuesday morning with a change in the airmass. Behind that storm, milder air surges north with highs in the 40s.
As of now, there’s a chance cooler air returns at the end of our exclusive First Alert 10-day forecast with the potential for more rain and snow.
