Nor'easter Forecast: Heavy Rain, Snow, and Damaging Winds for Massachusetts

A powerful long duration storm is expected to bring wet snow, damaging winds, and heavy rain to Massachusetts, with an initial wave of low pressure bringing light to moderate rain on Tuesday and the main storm arriving on Wednesday, potentially causing sleet and snow accumulation north and west of 495. Higher elevations are at a higher risk of snow/sleet accumulation, with the potential for 3-6 inches of wet snow in northern Worcester County and southwest New Hampshire. Strong wind gusts and a risk of power outages are expected, along with minor coastal flooding during Thursday morning's high tide. The storm is expected to linger with clouds and scattered showers into the weekend.
