Massachusetts is on high alert as a potentially disruptive winter storm is set to bring snow, ice, and rain to the region later this week. Following a recent storm that dropped 1 to 3 inches of snow across the Bay State, Meteorologist Shiri Spear has issued a Weather Alert for Thursday, warning residents of hazardous travel conditions.
Timeline: When & Where the Storm Will Hit
According to Spear, the storm is expected to develop Thursday morning, bringing snow and ice that could significantly impact the morning commute. The wintry mix will continue through midday, making roads slick and dangerous.
- Morning: Snow and ice will begin to spread across the state.
- Midday: Icy conditions could make travel treacherous.
- Afternoon: Some areas will see a transition to rain, but parts north and west of Boston may remain icy throughout the day if warmer air fails to move in.
“It only takes a coating of ice to really mess things up,” Spear warned, adding that the storm’s final impact depends on how much warm air moves into the area.
What’s Next? Another Storm Looms
The Boston 25 Weather team is also monitoring another fast-moving storm that could hit Saturday night into Sunday morning. While not expected to bring significant precipitation, it may still warrant a weather alert.
