Areas north of the Massachusetts Turnpike may see little to no snowfall, aside from a few stray flurries. South of the Pike, light snow is expected, mainly after midnight, continuing through mid-morning Wednesday. The highest snowfall amounts are expected south of Plymouth and Providence, particularly along the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands.
The second storm is expected to begin early Thursday morning, lasting through Thursday afternoon, February 13.
This system is expected to bring a mix of winter weather, beginning with snow before transitioning to ice and rain. It will be a fast-moving storm, starting after midnight with an initial burst of snowfall before shifting to sleet, freezing rain, and rain through Thursday morning.
The third storm is forecasted to begin late Saturday, February 15, and continue through early Monday, February 17, bringing a wintry mix. Due to the forecast’s long-range nature, more precise details will be available in the coming days.
