DEDHAM, Mass. — 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.
