No huge changes to report on today&#8217;s update. Today&#8217;s system is a disturbance with its axis of moisture initially over western portions of the region with some light snow. That moves beyond the region then a re-energizing of the boundary sets up a second area of precipitation, mostly snow inland and rain toward the coast, but not too heavy overall. Snow accumulation of up to a few inches can occur inland favoring higher elevations, with more of a rain to mix to snow event and slushy coatings toward the coast with pretty much nothing from this to the south of Boston. A break comes later tonight through midday Sunday before the next wave of low pressure forms and passes south and east of our region Sunday night, with a shield of snow over much of the region, but steadiest in eastern and southeastern areas where up to a few inches of accumulation seem quite likely. This system moves beyond the region by early Monday, a day that we&#8217;ll wait for an arctic cold front to pass by from the west later in the day or evening with a snow shower or snow squall possibility. This leads the coldest air mass of early 2026 so far into the region for Tuesday into Wednesday, but by later Wednesday, the advance of milder air brings some clouds and a chance of light snow back to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Periodic light rain eventually mixing with and changing to snow coastal plain, mix to snow inland. Snow accumulation ranging from slushy coatings coastal plain to 1\/2 to 2 inches west of I-95 and 2-4 inches I-495 belt from I-90 northward, greatest amounts in higher elevations. Highs 32-39 inland and 38-45 coast occurring before midday followed by a gradual temperature fall. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to N from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 23-30. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy. Snow develops south to north but will vary in intensity and can also be in the form of mixed precipitation or rain east of I-95. Highs 32-39.
