Depending on the place you reside within the Bay State, you would be shoveling out from a number of inches of snow on Friday.
Slick journey is predicted throughout Massachusetts, as a wintry mixture of snow, sleet and rain descends on the area. Up to six inches of snow can be doable for parts of northern Massachusetts, with the very best totals north of Route 2 and notably close to the New Hampshire border.
Those alongside Interstate 495 who’re north of the Mass Pike may see 2 to three inches of snow, whereas residents alongside 128 may get 1 to 2 inches.
“In Boston, it will start as rain with some snow mixing in during the afternoon,” Alan Dunham, meteorologist on the National Weather Service’s Boston workplace, instructed the Herald on Thursday. “An inch of accumulation is possible.”
The National Weather Service has issued a “Winter Weather Advisory” for parts of central, jap, northeastern and western Massachusetts by way of 6 p.m. on Friday.
“Mixed precipitation will change to all snow Friday morning and continue at times into Friday afternoon,” the advisory reads. “This may result in some slippery travel, although the snow may struggle to accumulate on roadways in the lower elevations given marginal temperatures… Slow down and use caution while traveling.”
Meanwhile, a “Coastal Flood Advisory” is in impact for Friday morning. Up to 1 foot of inundation above floor degree is predicted in low-lying areas close to shorelines and tidal waterways.
“Splashover and very minor coastal flooding of lots, parks, and roads within a few hours on either side of high tide,” the advisory reads. “If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.”
