A winter storm could possibly impact Massachusetts this weekend, but the exact path and snowfall is still unclear, according to forecasters.
The National Weather Service’s Boston office said a winter storm is expected along the East Coast this weekend, but it is still possible that it could follow a more offshore track, which would not affect the Northeast.
“We are more and more favoring an offshore track but we can’t completely rule out a closer pass with more of an impact in southern New England,” the NWS said.

Will it snow in Massachusetts this weekend?
The National Weather Service said a winter storm is possible in Massachusetts this weekend.
Caitlyn Mensch, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Boston office, said the latest forecast model trends are showing a winter storm will be less likely in Massachusetts this weekend, though it is still possible.
“We still do have a chance that we could get a weaker system that that passes just more North this weekend, and that could actually bring a little bit of some light accumulation of snow,” Mensch said.
Mensch said if the storm hits Massachusetts, it could bring some snow showers throughout the day on Saturday.
