Enjoy the sunshine and milder temps whilst you can.
The Bay State may very well be on storm watch early subsequent week, with a potential “significant coastal storm” dumping heavy snow throughout the area.
The forecast fashions a number of days out are exhibiting some probably very robust low strain programs that would merge, and type a fairly strong storm.
“It’s looking pretty likely that a storm will be passing through the area, some time in the Monday night into Tuesday timeframe,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dave Dombek instructed the Herald 5 days earlier than the potential storm.
“The details at this point are still very sketchy about how things are going to transpire with this storm,” he added. “The computer models are having a tough time resolving this situation with the combination of systems.”
The potential winter storm would come after close to record-high temps within the higher 50s to decrease 60s over the weekend.
“Then there is the potential for a significant coastal storm early next week,” the National Weather Service’s forecast dialogue posted. “If this storm comes to fruition, rain and/or heavy snow would be possible depending on the track. Coastal flooding would also be a concern given high astronomical tides and strong winds along the coast.”
The National Weather Service’s Boston workplace put out a map with the probabilities of seeing 3-plus inches of snow subsequent week. Odds favor the upper elevations for greater than 3 inches, whereas there’s a 20% to 30% probability elsewhere.
What in regards to the storm subsequent week? Here are probabilities of seeing 3″+ of snow Tue. There’s lots of uncertainty & larger values might shift N or S in subsequent few days.
For now, a storm is probably going close to SNE. Coastal flooding can also be potential on each coasts. Stay tuned!#ctwx #mawx #riwx pic.twitter.com/FEiSmUsEIr

There’s loads of uncertainty with the system, and better snow predictions might transfer north or south within the subsequent few days.
“The track, strength, timing and potential impacts are quite uncertain given this is a Day 6 forecast,” the National Weather Service’s forecast dialogue reads.
“All we can say at this point is that there is the potential for a strong storm to impact the region early next week,” NWS added. “This may bring rain and/or heavy snow along with perhaps a period of strong winds along the coast. In addition, astronomical tides are high and if this storm comes to fruition we will have to contend with coastal flooding. Given that both coasts have already been hit hard this winter, they are particularly more vulnerable.”
