Boston faces the potential for a significant early-season snowfall as a coastal storm moves in Tuesday into Wednesday, with some forecasts suggesting totals could approach 10 inches in parts of the metro area. Residents should be prepared for changing conditions, as the exact track of the storm will determine how much snow Boston actually receives.
Snow is expected to develop sometime Tuesday, possibly starting as a mix of rain and wet flakes near the coast before transitioning to steadier snow Tuesday night.
The heaviest bands are most likely overnight into early Wednesday, when commuting could be most difficult. Heavy, wet snow may lead to slick roads, slower travel, and the risk of scattered power outages if winds increase and snow clings to trees and power lines. Travelers and commuters should monitor updated local forecasts, allow extra travel time, and be ready for plowable snow if the higher-end scenario plays out.
