DEDHAM, Mass. — Another winter storm will sweep through Massachusetts ahead of the weekend, bringing with it the potential for up to three inches of snow across much of the state.
The clipper storm will move in Thursday night and persist through early Friday morning, according to Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear.
“It’s a fast-moving, weaker, clipper-type system,” Spear said in her latest forecast. “This is not a ton of snow and it’s not going to impact you to a huge extent because it’s falling when you’re probably already home, after dinnertime, and getting ready for bed tonight. But still, you’re going to have to clean it up tomorrow morning.”
TIMELINE
- First snowflakes start to fly around 8 p.m. Thursday
- Most snow falls between 8 p.m. and midnight
