Mass. Snow Forecast Hinges on Offshore Storm Track

An offshore storm expected to strengthen into a bomb cyclone could bring heavy snow to Massachusetts on Sunday, with southeastern Massachusetts, the Outer Cape and Nantucket at highest risk (6–12 inches if it tracks closer). Boston has about a 30% chance of 6 inches or more, while interior areas may see little snow; coastal flooding and 50–60 mph gusts are possible, and outages could occur. Cold temperatures precede the storm, and forecasters are awaiting a more precise track before final snow maps are issued.
