A winter storm watch is in effect for Central Massachusetts, with up to a foot of snow possible in parts of Worcester County between Sunday morning and Monday evening. The National Weather Service expects the snow to start Sunday morning and continue for the rest of the day, tapering off into snow showers Monday morning. The Monday morning commute will likely be affected, and heavy, wet snow combined with wind gusts up to 35 mph could result in power failures. Accumulations are more certain in northern Worcester County, with 8 to 12 inches expected, while lower-elevation portions of southern Worcester County could see 4 to 7 inches of wet snow.
