Fri Dec 20 11:00:00 UTC 2024: **Light Snow Possible Friday, Icy Conditions Expected in Eastern Massachusetts**
BOSTON (WHDH) – After a morning of drying conditions following overnight rain (0.50-0.75″ in many areas), Massachusetts residents should brace for the possibility of snow on Friday. While not a major storm, the National Weather Service predicts enough accumulation to create slick spots, particularly in the afternoon and evening.
Temperatures will hover in the low to mid-40s today before dropping significantly overnight. Friday will see isolated rain and snow showers initially, transitioning to more widespread rain and snow in the afternoon. A coastal front will likely divide areas with temperatures in the upper 20s from those in the upper 30s, leading to varying precipitation types. Areas northwest of Boston may see steadier, heavier snow.
As the colder air pushes southeast, rain will change to snow across southeastern Massachusetts in the evening, with icy conditions possible. Snow accumulation is expected to range from a coating to a couple of inches, potentially higher in localized areas due to the coastal front. Any accumulation could remain on the ground through Christmas Eve.
The weather pattern is expected to become unsettled again late Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day, with more rain and snow possible. Residents are advised to monitor weather forecasts for updates.
