Light winter storm to bring 1 to 2 inches of snow, freezing rain and some ice accumulations to Massachusetts – MassLive.com

The stormy winter weather isnt over just yet.

Much of Massachusetts should see some light snowfall and freezing rainfall over the weekend as a light winter storm moves in, according to the National Weather Service.

A hazardous weather outlook has been issued for nearly the entire state, excluding the Berkshires. Minor snow accumulations are possible Saturday night into Sunday. Forecasters arent expecting much more than an inch or 2 across interior Massachusetts, with mainly an inch or less predicted elsewhere.

Less than an inch of snow is forecast on the Cape and Islands, and up to 2 inches could fall in Boston, Worcester, Springfield and the Berkshires, the weather service said.

Snowfall is expected to change over to light freezing rainfall or sleet by Sunday, mainly across northern Connecticut, Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, where milder air should develop south of the Massachusetts Turnpike, according to the agency.

Icing, along with sleet and freezing rain, may be a concern late Saturday in Southeastern Massachusetts.

Another storm system may hit southern New England late Monday into Tuesday, bringing several inches of snow as well as mixed precipitation and ice to Massachusetts, though the forecast is subject to change more than 72 hours out.
