Boston, Massachusetts – Forecasters are monitoring the potential for a winter storm that could impact eastern Massachusetts on Sunday, though uncertainty remains high regarding the storm’s track and overall impacts.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, a possible coastal storm may develop late this weekend. As of midweek, forecast confidence remains limited, with scenarios ranging from little to no impact to a more significant winter storm, particularly for southern New England.
Meteorologists note that the storm track will be the determining factor. If the system remains farther offshore, impacts across the Boston area would be minimal. A closer track to the coast, however, could bring accumulating snow and hazardous conditions, especially along major travel corridors such as Interstate 93, Interstate 95, Route 128, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90).
At this time, officials emphasize that it is too early to determine snowfall amounts or exact impacts. The National Weather Service states that greater clarity is unlikely until later in the week as additional data becomes available.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed and avoid making weather-dependent plans until forecasts become more certain. Travelers should be aware that even a moderate shift in the storm’s path could significantly affect road conditions, particularly during peak travel periods on Sunday.
The National Weather Service advises monitoring updates through weather.gov and trusted local sources. No watches or warnings have been issued at this time, but officials stress that preparedness is key given the range of possible outcomes.
Commuters, students, and weekend travelers may want to plan for potential delays if the storm trends closer to the coast, especially Sunday afternoon and evening.
Additional updates are expected as forecast confidence improves later this week.
