Boston, Massachusetts – A significant winter storm is expected to impact the city and much of southern New England beginning Sunday, bringing heavy snow, dangerous travel conditions, and prolonged disruptions into Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, snowfall totals of 12 to 18 inches are forecast across the Boston metro area, with high confidence in widespread heavy accumulation. Snow is expected to begin late Sunday morning to early Sunday afternoon, becoming heavy by late Sunday and continuing into the first half of Sunday night.
Forecasters warn that snowfall rates may exceed one inch per hour during the heaviest period late Sunday into Sunday night, significantly reducing visibility and making travel hazardous. Snow will continue into Monday, tapering from west to east through the day as the storm slowly exits the region.
Confidence remains high for travel impacts, particularly Sunday evening and during the Monday morning commute, when roads and sidewalks are expected to remain snow-covered. Some uncertainty remains for coastal areas, including the immediate shoreline and Cape Cod, where mixed precipitation could slightly reduce snow totals.
Residents are urged to complete preparations ahead of Sunday, avoid unnecessary travel during peak snowfall, and plan for delays across roads, transit systems, and airports through Monday.
