More snow is expected to fall in Massachusetts this week as frigid temperatures settle in on the heels of Sunday’s snow squalls.
The first chance for light snow comes overnight Monday into Tuesday with up to 4 inches of snowfall expected across most of Massachusetts, and the Boston 25 Weather team has issued a Weather Alert due to the approaching snow.
“Now is a good time to make sure you still have that snow brush in the car, because you’re going to be using it tonight and tomorrow,” Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear said in her latest forecast. “We’re back on another Weather Alert for slippery travel conditions. You’ll find that when snow moves in, around midnight in the Boston area, it will be cold enough everywhere to support accumulation.”
By 7 a.m. Tuesday, there will be light accumulation with temperatures in the 20s. There will also be the chance for sleet and freezing rain as the snow transitions to rainfall along the coast.
About 2-4 inches of snow is expected north and west of Boston, while southeastern Massachusetts and most of Cape Cod will see 1-2 inches. A coating of snow is likely on Nantucket.
Wind and coastal flooding will not be a problem with this round of winter weather.
Futurecast maps shared by Boston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf showed the snow lingering throughout the morning and afternoon on Tuesday before moving out by 7 p.m.
“This is a look at the timing for snow. Light snow moves in after midnight and will last throughout most of the day. Plan for some lulls, as well as a mix closer to the coast,” Graf wrote in a post on X.

More snow is expected on Friday, but at this time, it’s too early to predict potential totals.
“Another storm will come off the coast Friday, but there is even more uncertainty with that one,” Spear wrote in her latest weather blog. “Models range from a raging snowstorm to an absolute miss. So, let’s get through the first one Tuesday and we’ll keep Friday “on your radar.”
