By JOE LIPOVICH (Patch Staff)

BRAINTREE, MA—If a couple inches of snow and sub-zero wind chills haven’t convinced you that the balmy beginning to winter is behind us, just wait until this weekend.

The National Weather Service says there is potential for a winter storm that could blanket much of the Northeast - including Massachusetts - with the majority of the snow coming on Saturday.

Details such as how much snow and exactly when it would fall are still unknown; the storm could pass by the area relatively harmlessly. But weather models are showing the possibility for significant snowfall.

According to Braintree’s most recent forecast from Weather.com, less than in inch of snow is projected to fall during the day Saturday, but the area could see one to three inches Saturday night. Another one to three inches is expected Sunday morning.

Temperatures are likely to range between 28 and 32 degrees on Saturday with winds gusts up to 40 mph.
