The majority of the state remains under a Winter Storm Warning from the National Weather Service.
“This storm system will pull away from Southern New England later this afternoon and into tonight,” service meteorologists said Thursday morning.
Forecasters predicted most of the state could see around a foot of snow from the “significant, multifaceted winter storm” by the time it is over.
“We continue to have multiple weather-related concerns specific to this winter storm,” the service said. “Accumulating snowfall is one of them. Rapidly falling temperatures and a related flash freeze of snow/slush is looking likely later this morning across the South Shore into southeastern MA. This may extend as far north as the Boston metro area, potentially affecting I-95/Route 128 and the Southeast Expressway. Strong northeast winds and minor coastal flooding are other concerns.”
