A nor’easter with blizzard-like conditions arrived in New England Sunday, bringing with it the chance for more than a foot of snow and whipping winds.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service expect the snowfall to taper off west to east, beginning in the afternoon on Monday. The significantly accumulating snow should be off the coast by 7 p.m., with some lighter snow lingering until about 10 p.m.
Relief from the snow arrives on Tuesday — but forecasters don’t expect it to last long.
A clipper system could bring precipitation as soon as Wednesday, with the chance of accumulating snow in the Worcester Hills and the Berkshires. Snow could accumulate at lower elevations depending on the timing of the front, but forecasters expect temperatures to have warmed to the mid-to-high-30s by then.
Another area of low pressure could make its way to the region Thursday night into Friday, but the exact track and strength of the storm are “highly uncertain at this time.”
“We are nearly 6 days away from this system, so exact details will be resolved in future forecast updates,” forecasters wrote.
