BOSTON – A significant snowstorm is becoming increasingly likely across parts of the Northeast from late Monday through early Wednesday.
While details are still not set in stone, the National Weather Service office in Boston said the potential exists for a plowable snow, with significant accumulations not out of the question.
The snow, sleet and freezing rain will first impact the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes on Monday.
The NWS office in Green Bay said the probability of snowfall exceeding 6 inches has been increasing for much of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, with the greatest chance on the eastern half of the peninsula. The agency added that this will also be a much wetter and denser snowfall than Thursday’s winter storm.

While it’s too early to pinpoint exact snow totals, the FOX Forecast Center said there is a high probability of at least a few inches across a broad swath from the Upper Midwest to New England.
In the Boston area, the NWS noted that plowable snowfall is in play as two computer forecast models offer a high probability for 3-plus inches of snow, with a moderate probability of 6-plus inches.
Before the main winter storm arrives early next week, the Portland, Maine, NWS office said a few nuisance snow events will dust portions of the Northeast this weekend.
