Massachusetts Braces for Tuesday Snowstorm Expected to Drop 6 Inches
Massachusetts is gearing up for a significant snowstorm expected to arrive on Tuesday. The National Weather Service indicates that Monday will be dry but blustery across the state, with winds calming later in the day. Overnight, temperatures may fall into the 20s in many areas.
Winter Storm Watch Issued
Forecasters predict that snow will begin falling on Tuesday morning, with a winter storm watch in effect for Western and Central Massachusetts. The watch extends from late Tuesday morning to Tuesday night.
Snow Accumulation Estimates
- Central and Western Massachusetts may see up to 6 inches of snow.
- Eastern Massachusetts could also experience some snow accumulation.
The storm is expected to disrupt commutes on Tuesday, both in the morning and evening. While most of the state will have plowable conditions, certain lower-elevation areas might experience rain instead of snow, leading to minimal accumulation. Coastal regions could receive as much as an inch of rain.
Ongoing Weather Developments
Snowfall is likely to continue until early Wednesday morning, with expectations of an Arctic front moving into the state by Thursday night. This front could bring the coldest temperatures of the season, dipping into the single digits.
Potential for More Snow
Furthermore, forecasters are monitoring the situation for additional snow showers on Thursday. The extent of any further accumulation remains uncertain.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest forecasts as the storm approaches. Prepare for changing conditions and possible impacts on travel around Massachusetts.
