Snow inland, rain in Boston
The Boston Globe • • nation
Key Points:
- A modest storm is expected to bring light to steady rain to the Boston area, with no significant snow accumulation forecasted for the city itself.
- Higher elevations in Western Massachusetts and Northern New England may see a light dusting to 2 inches of snow, with isolated pockets possibly reaching 2 to 4 inches.
- Weather models differ on the storm’s track, with the American (GFS) model favoring an inland path producing mostly rain, and the European (ECMWF) model showing a more offshore nor’easter track with slightly better snow chances inland.
- Overall, the storm is not anticipated to be a major nor’easter, and widespread snow is unlikely; Boston’s first inch of snow typically occurs around December 11 and is not expected from this system.
- Forecasts will continue to be updated as the storm approaches, but current projections suggest mainly rain for coastal areas and limited snow confined to higher elevations.
