We've got some accumulating snow to kick things off. That will be followed by the coldest airmass of the winter season thus far. Finally, in the longer range, it appears that an active/stormy pattern is going to unfold over the next few weeks across the eastern United States.

Friday will be a partly to a mostly sunny day with a light breeze from the southwest with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. Friday evening will be dry, with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s. Overnight temperatures will be in the teens and low 20s.

Forecasters say they expect accumulating, plowable snow to begin falling in Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon.
