Boston Weekend Snow Forecast: Two Chances for Snow

The first chance of snow arrives on Saturday as a light rain/snow mix. Temperatures will be hovering around freezing, which will limit accumulation. Areas south of Boston, particularly the South Shore and the Cape, are more likely to see rain. Inland areas may see a coating to 2 inches of snow, with higher elevations receiving the most. The second weather system is a coastal storm developing on Sunday. Its proximity to the coast will determine the extent of snowfall. Current forecasts suggest the storm will track far enough offshore to minimize impacts, but a shift of 50-100 miles could bring significant snow to southern New England. The Cape and Islands have the highest chance of seeing accumulation, potentially around 1-3 inches, if the storm’s fringe impacts the area.

How much snow is expected in Boston this weekend?

Light accumulation (around an inch or two) is possible inland on Saturday. The potential for more significant snowfall depends on the track of a coastal storm on Sunday.

Will the Patriots game be affected by the weather?

** - A: The risk of snow is very low for the Patriots vs. Texans game on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 30s, with partly sunny skies giving way to increasing cloud cover.
