Harvey Leonard, WCVB: ‘Late Saturday, Saturday Night and early Sunday needs to be watched carefully with regard to rain vs snow’
The weather menu over the next several days. Late Saturday, Saturday Night and early Sunday needs to be watched carefully with regard to rain vs snow. Coastal areas are more likely to get mostly rain, and elevated inland locations have best chance of heavy, wet snow #wcvb pic.twitter.com/fXDlKZeoVF

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘Track too far west and not enough cold. Better shot (of snow in) Worcester Hills – Monadnock Region and points NW’
Snow chances around the Boston area trending 📉 for the weekend

Opening effort for the weekend system. Not looking like much of any snow maker in eastern MA. Odds would more strongly favor the Worcester Hills/Monadnock Region and farther inland spots. #wbz pic.twitter.com/26Z92Q0tFb

Zack Green, WBZ: ‘Hard to pinpoint where the rain/snow line ultimately lands, but trends looking at more of a rain event in eastern MA’
Hard to pinpoint where the rain/snow line ultimately lands, but trends looking at more of a rain event in eastern MA. Snow likely held to higher elevations of Worcester County and up towards VT and NH. Still time to iron this out but at least a first look to the weekend impacts. pic.twitter.com/GYNB8oSxUa

This system will be the dominant conversation over the next few days but it will take it’s time getting here. Biggest impact will be to your Sunday morning travel. pic.twitter.com/bK5wV4E7LR

Not set in stone, but consensus of weekend storm track moving right across southern New England. This would keep snow potential rather low for eastern MA and coastal New England. pic.twitter.com/5twFzIRUEl

Chris Lambert, 7News: ‘As of now, track favors lower elevation rain, especially inside 495’
Weekend Storm: As of now, track favors lower elevation rain, especially inside 495. Higher terrain snow, mainly northern Worcester Hills, Berkshires, Ski County. Track needs to be farther southeast for a higher snow risk across eastern Mass. pic.twitter.com/LFoEwtFI1z
