Massachusetts braces for snowstorm starting Friday night

A weather alert has been issued for Massachusetts, predicting snow showers from Friday night into Saturday morning, especially affecting southern areas, with potential for plowable snow and impacts on holiday travel. A fast-moving clipper will bring light, fluffy snow starting between 7-8 p.m., with coastal areas experiencing snow closer to midnight and into early Saturday morning. Another storm system is expected to bring snow, freezing rain, and then rain into early next week, followed by Arctic cold to end 2025 and start 2026.
