Another storm comes in today bringing the snow, especially from late morning through this evening.
A coastal storm passing just offshore will bring a widespread, wet snowfall to much of southern New England.
Here’s what’s in the forecast:
How much snow will we get in Massachusetts today? Other parts of New England?
Most of Southern New England is looking at 2–5 inch accumulations, with localized spots near 6 inches possible in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island where the snow falls the steadiest and will have the most intensity.
Snow timing
Snow begins moving into Connecticut late morning, then spreads northeast into eastern Mass. after lunchtime.
It starts light, but the heaviest snow arrives late afternoon into the evening, when rates could reach ½ to 1 inch per hour, and even higher near the South Coast if temperatures cool just enough. Temperatures will be close to freezing, so this will be a heavy, wet snow, which can still accumulate even with readings hovering near or just above freezing.
Snow tapers off from west to east late tonight, generally between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m..
Travel impacts
Expect slippery roads, reduced visibility during heavier bursts, and slushy travel near the coast. Travel could be hazardous.
Winter weather advisory
A winter weather advisory is in effect from 7 a.m. today through 7 a.m. Monday for much of southern New England, plus parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

This week’s forecast
Looking ahead, colder air rushes in behind this system Monday night as an arctic front sweeps through. Tuesday into early Wednesday will be the coldest stretch, with well-below-normal temperatures and wind chills near or below zero at times. The cold eases a bit by Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, with quieter weather overall, but passing front could bring a brief chance for light snow or rain showers, mainly near the coast. Below normal temperatures may return later in the week.
