Snowstorm overnight expected to bring up to 9 inches of snow

A storm system expected to arrive in Massachusetts Sunday night is set to dump up to 9 inches of snow in some parts of the state before it makes its way out of the region.

Flakes are expected to start flying around 6 p.m. and last into early Monday morning and will cause significant travel impacts across the state. It will be a quick system and should be clear of the area by 5 a.m.

When it wraps up, our latest forecast calls for the Cape and Islands to get 1 to 3 inches of snow, communities in southeastern mass, Greater Boston, and along the North and South Shores will get 3 to 6 inches, while cities and towns west of Boston, including Worcester, and much of Western Mass. could see between 6 and 9 inches.
