Worcester Area Could See Snow Thursday Night
But not much. The latest forecasts show what time snow could arrive in the Worcester area Thursday night.
WORCESTER, MA — It definitely won't be enough to open Wachusett Mountain any earlier, but a storm headed into Massachsuetts on Thursday could bring some snow to the Worcester area.
Thursday will mostly be a rainy day, but a temperature drop this evening will set up the chance for snow. Worcester and areas immediately west will get well below an inch, according to the latest National Weather Service forecasts.
"Low pressure will develop along a strong cold front as it shifts east, bringing periods of rain this afternoon and tonight. The precipitation will end as a brief period of light snow across the interior and interior high terrain late," the weather service forecast reads.
