‘Parade of storms' in forecast for Mass. including ‘sloppy mess' for a morning commute this week
Massachusetts could be in for a 'parade of storms' starting with multiple chances for snow this week and a 'sloppy mess' for one morning commute.
More than half a foot of snow fell in many communities over the weekend, but keep those shovels handy! More is on the way.
'There are at least three storms in the next seven days to watch,' Boston 25 News Chief Meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz said in Monday evening forecast. 'Not all are going to hit us, but we're going to watch them.'
The first disturbance the Boston 25 Weather team is tracking is an ocean storm on Tuesday night that will track south of New England. While most of Massachusetts will stay dry, the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands could see a dusting of snow, according to Lemanowicz.
Another storm packing 'business' will pass through soon after, with snow developing around midnight on Wednesday and falling for a few hours before a flip to a wintry mix of sleet, rain, and freezing rain in time for the Thursday morning drive to work and school, Lemanowicz said in his forecast.
Lemanowicz issued a WEATHER ALERT for Thursday morning due to the chance for slippery and icy travel conditions.
'A good push of snow on the front edge of this,' Lemanowicz said. 'During the morning drive, there's likely going to be snow, sleet, and rain all falling at the same time...Maybe even some freezing rain.'
Lemanowicz said the storm will be a 'problem for commuting' and a 'tough call for schools.'
A preliminary snow map showed the possibility for 3-5 inches of snow for points to the north and west, while eastern and southeastern Massachusetts could see 1-3 inches of snow.
The storm will clear out by the afternoon. The weekend will then bring another chance for unsettled weather.
'Valentine's Day is going to be cold and dry, but keep your eyes on the weekend for another storm!' Lemanowicz wrote in his latest weather blog.
Lemanowicz also noted that it appears the 'parade of storms' will continue beyond the seven-day forecast into the extended winter weather outlook.

Worcester city officials warn of elevated E. Coli levels after wastewater overflows into storm drain
Worcester City Officials are warning the public of an elevated risk of E. Coli levels after wastewater was discharged onto the streets. Officials say that on Friday morning, around 11:07 AM, the city encountered a sewage overflow in the area of 65 Lake Avenue. Around 470 gallons of untreated wastewater was discharged from an underground pipe and onto the street. An immediate response from city crews was able to stop the leakage around 12:41 PM and ensure that the sewer system was operating normally. However, during the wastewater leak, some of it had made its way into some of the storm drains, which ultimately drains to Lake Quinsigamond. The city is now advising the public of a possible elevation to E. Coli levels near the areas of the discharge. Officials say that they will be conducting daily testing until levels return to normal ranges. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Many major roads in Mass. town left impassable after strong storm blows through
Many major roads in a Massachusetts town were left impassable Friday morning after a powerful storm blew through, toppling trees and utility poles. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of Middlesex and Worcester counties, including Ayer, around 7 a.m. Shortly after the warning was issued, police in Ayer reported that multiple trees and wires were blocking roads around town. "Multiple roads are impassable," the Ayer Police Department wrote in a Facebook post. In a subsequent post, police warned motorists that roadways into town from the east and north were blocked by downed trees and live wires, noting that Sandy Pond, Central Avenue, East Main Street at the rotary, and Groton Harvard Road were all closed. A Boston 25 News photographer captured drone video from the Ayer rotary that showed a massive cluster of trees resting across the roadway and multiple utility poles leaning over. 'Some neighborhoods will see increased cut-through traffic. Please be patient and courteous,' police advised. 'Many resources are being brought in to help make the roads safe for passage and get the electricity turned back on.' Police said a tractor-trailer trying to use Oakridge Drive as a cut-through route got hooked on wires and brought down poles. There was no immediate word on when the closed roads would reopen. There is a risk of strong storms in the region throughout the afternoon to sunset.

Drake And PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce Summer 2025 Overseas Tour '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U'
Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have one of the most popular projects of the year, and now they're bringing the function overseas. The duo recently announced a joint tour, $ome $pecial $hows 4 U, with stops in Europe and the United Kingdom. They let the world know they'll be hitting the road once again via Instagram in a collaborative post with the Drake Related page earlier this week. Their string of performances will kick off with the 6 God's three-night headlining set at Wireless Festival in London, England, from July 11th to July 13th. Drizzy will be joined by PND and Summer Walker the first night, 'The Mandem' on the second, and Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel on the final evening. Given his affinity for UK rappers and previous collaborations with Central Cee, Dave, Skepta, and more, it is easy to assume who will be part of 'The Mandem' joining him for the second Wireless Festival show. They'll then take a quick break before making stops in Birmingham, Manchester, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, and Berlin. The tour will end in September with two shows in Hamburg, Germany. Tickets go on sale this Friday (June 6) on either or This will be Drake's second tour of 2025, following his trek through Australia back in February. The Anita Max Win tour went viral several times for him sporting a hoodie with bullet holes that had smoke coming out of them, and him making several speeches about the fact that he is 'still alive' despite all he endured in 2024 with the rap beef versus Kendrick Lamar and other rappers. The tour was unfortunately cut short due to scheduling conflicts, but the 38-year-old artist promised Australia that he wouldn't let another decade pass by before coming back to perform. PARTYNEXTDOOR joined him down under right around when they released their joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U on Valentine's Day. $$$4U is a 21-song effort that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit 'Nokia.' The LP featured Pimmie, Yebba, and Chino Pacas. Listen below.
