Boston, MA – A colder weekend across Massachusetts will give way to a possible winter storm early next week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boston. Forecasters are tracking a developing system that could bring plowable accumulating snow Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night, though confidence in the exact track remains low.
Tonight, temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-20s, with light winds and increasing clouds. Sunday brings highs in the mid-40s to low 50s with periods of light rain, followed by another cooldown on Monday.
NWS officials say the system approaching from the southeast has the potential to impact southern New England, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. While the storm’s path is still uncertain, the best chance for measurable snow currently lies across interior regions and higher terrain areas, where colder air is more likely to hold.
Meteorologists note several unanswered questions, including how strong the storm will become and whether coastal and eastern Massachusetts will be cold enough for snow or end up with more rain. Snowfall totals cannot yet be estimated, and forecasters expect confidence to increase as the system organizes over the next 24–48 hours.
The agency advises residents to continue monitoring updates through the weekend, especially those who live in areas prone to travel disruptions during early-season storms. If the colder scenario verifies, Tuesday evening travel could be impacted across portions of the region.
NWS will release additional forecast details as new model data comes in.
