Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear said the next burst of snow moves in on Wednesday morning but will not be nearly as severe as the nor'easter that just blew through; she warned that "this time around, it’s just a little snow. It isn’t wind damage, it’s not blizzard conditions, it’s not coastal flooding, it’s just a little snow. " The team is watching the potential impacts across Massachusetts after the Monday blizzard that dropped feet of snow.
What to expect Wednesday morning
Spear posted on Twitter on February 24, 2026: "This is for Wednesday from 6/7 AM to about 1 PM. 1-3" for most. @boston25 #mawx #nhwx #newengland. " Meteorologists expect 1 to 3 inches of snow for points north and west of Boston and a coating to 1 inch in southeastern Massachusetts, with the system set to arrive in time for the morning commute and linger until just after lunchtime (times shown for local schedules).
Thursday night: a close miss or a minor coating?
A second wintry system could graze New England on Thursday night. In her latest weather blog, Spear wrote, "There’s a slight chance we see some snow or a wintry mix between Thursday and Friday. Many of our tools have the storm as a close miss. Right now, I have the chance for some minor snow in southeastern Massachusetts on Thursday night. " The Boston 25 Weather team will continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates as conditions change.
After the blizzard: wider regional impact and related headlines
