DEDHAM, Mass. — There will be two more chances for snow in Massachusetts leading into the weekend after a mix of wintry weather snarled travel across the Bay State on Tuesday.
Snow, ice, and rain froze overnight Wednesday as temperatures plummeted and wind chills dipped into the single digits. That bitter cold will stick around through the end of the weekend.
“Brace yourself! Wind chills in the single digits are back,” Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear wrote in a post on X.
According to Spear, as the chill grips the region, the next chance for snow will be Thursday, but it’ll be a “low-impact” system.
A coating to about half an inch of snow is possible for parts of the state.
“Because it’s going to be so cold, if we do get flurries, they’ll easily stick to untreated surfaces,” Spear said in her latest forecast.
“Moderate-impact” snow will follow for the Friday afternoon and evening commute, with up to 4 inches of snow expected in some areas.
“There will not be a lot of water in the atmosphere to work with, but the cold air will provide the “fluff factor” to give us some accumulations,” Boston 25 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz said. “The focus will be south of the Mass Pike, especially in southeast Massachusetts where up to 4″ is possible.”
While the snow will be on the lighter side, travel during the Friday commute home could still be tricky.
Arctic air will remain in place on Saturday and Sunday with highs in the 20s. There will also be sub-zero wind chills in the mornings.
