Weekend winter storm to bring snow, dangerous icy conditions to Massachusetts
Another weekend winter storm is approaching which will bring snow, and dangerous icy conditions to Massachusetts. Snow is expected to begin falling Saturday evening, between 5-8 p.m., moving in from the west. 'The steady stuff doesn't begin until we get towards the later hours in the evening, closer to 10 to 11 p.m.,' the Boston 25 Weather team wrote in their latest weather blog. A Winter Weather Advisory goes into effect Saturday night and lasts through Sunday night for most of Massachusetts (excluding the Cape and Islands). 'The worst of the travel will be early Sunday morning with snow, ice, and rain,' said Boston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf in her Saturday morning forecast. Estimates show the possibility of 1-3 inches of snow for the Cape and Islands and 3-6 inches for points south of the Massachusetts Turnpike and along the coast. Six to nine or more inches of snow is possible for points north of Interstate 90, including Fitchburg and southern New Hampshire. 'As the storm winds down, there's still a lingering threat for icy spots,' Graf said. When it comes to ice, some areas will see about a quarter of an inch which can be really disruptive. 'We're looking at a lot of those tree limbs and branches starting to sag or break, we're looking at some slick travel out there and also potentially power outages,' Graf added. On Monday, the winds will pick up significantly and a high wind watch has been issued for the day with gusts possibly reaching up to 60 mph which could lead to power outages.

Winter storm threatening snow, icy conditions across Massachusetts
It may be Valentine's Day, but southern New England is not feeling the love from Mother Nature this weekend as a winter storm threatens to bring snowy and icy conditions across the region. 'Snow is expected to begin falling Saturday evening, between 5-8 p.m., moving in from west to east. The snow will continue into early Sunday morning,' the Boston 25 Weather team wrote in their latest weather blog. Estimates show the possibility of 1-3 inches of snow for the Cape and Islands, 3-6 inches for points south of the Massachusetts Turnpike and along the coast. Six to nine inches of snow is possible for points north of Interstate 90, including Fitchburg and southern New Hampshire. Temperatures are projected to slowly warm overnight into Sunday, causing a change to rain in Boston and southeastern Massachusetts. However, if the current forecast holds, ice may be a 'big problem' for towns to the north and west, according to the Weather Team. 'There will be snow out there. There will be some sleet and freezing rain. And keep in mind, it's the ice that's dangerous and creates that dangerous travel. And we could be dealing with that for several hours throughout the afternoon on Sunday and then eventually switching over to rain for parts of eastern Massachusetts into Sunday night,' Boston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf said in her latest forecast. 'Watch out for some slippery travel, especially Sunday!' Graf writes. For the latest on the forecast, stay tuned to the Boston 25 Weather page. This is a developing story.

Winter storm warning issued as storm could dump up to 8 inches of snow across Massachusetts
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for most of Massachusetts due to a storm that would dump up to 8 inches of snow across Massachusetts this weekend. The winter storm warning is in effect for Franklin, Worcester, Middlesex, Essex, Hampshire, Hampden, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, and Berkshire counties from 7 p.m. on Saturday through 1 p.m. on Sunday. The worst of the snow will fall between midnight and 6 a.m., so if you're out late, stay prepared for slippery roads, said the Boston 25 Weather team. 'I'm putting a range of 4 to 8 inches, and this is for a good portion of Massachusetts,' said Meterlogist Vicki Graf in her morning forecast. Graf also pointed out that this is a range and that some areas will see 5 to 6 and others could see 7 to 8. 'I wouldn't rule out a couple of spots to see a little more than 8 inches especially North of the Boston area,' Graf said. This snowstorm should wrap up by late Sunday morning or noon with no impact on Sunday night Super Bowl plans. When you wake up Sunday morning, be prepared to deal with some heavy, wet snow. For the best results, get out there early to shovel and clear your sidewalks. The snow will be heavier to manage if it sits too long. There is also a 'good chance' we see more snow 'on at least one, if not two days next week,' according to Meteorologist Tucker Antico.
