[Weather] [2026.02.18 AM] Boston EM Briefing: Rain Changing to Snow This Afternoon and Evening

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning, all:.

Winter Weather Advisory remains posted for this aftenroon and evening
across western and central MA. This is for rain changing to snow with a
period of sleet possible during the transition. A narrow axis of 2–4 inches
of snow with localized 5-inch amounts, are possible, especially across the
higher terrain of western/central MA. The bulk of the accumulating snow
will fall along a relatively narrow axis, which may shift north or south.
Some lower elevations may also see a few inches of snow too, but confidence
is lower in this region given marginal temperatures.

Attached is a one-pager for this event, along with our latest snowfall
forecast.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Meteorologists Matthew Belk and Francis Tarasiewicz
