New England is bracing for a fast-moving winter storm set to bring accumulating snow later today, followed by the coldest air of the season. The exact snowfall amounts and timing will vary by region, with southeastern areas seeing rain before transitioning to snow.
Areas of light snow will break out between 1-3pm in far southwestern New England, expanding northeast during the late afternoon to early evening. Eastern MA may start briefly as rain or a rain-snow mix before transitioning to all snow as colder air filters in.
The heaviest snow will fall Sunday evening and overnight, with snowfall rates reducing visibility and creating hazardous travel conditions. Snow will taper off around dawn Monday, with lingering snow showers in Maine through midday.
The storm is expected to deliver widespread snowfall, with amounts depending on location:
Once the storm departs, Arctic air will plunge into New England, ushering in the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Adding to the chill, gusty northwest winds of 25–35 mph will drive wind chills into the single digits and below zero throughout the day.
Monday night will bring bitterly cold conditions, with actual low temperatures dipping below zero in northern New England and into the single digits farther south. Wind chills will drop even lower, creating dangerous conditions for anyone outdoors for extended periods.
