A new storm moving in this weekend will spread snow and travel delays across the region Saturday.
While warmer air will move up with the storm over part of southeastern New England, odds favor an extended period of snow Saturday afternoon into Sunday in north and west Boston with a heavy accumulation.
Roads are likely to be slippery and snow covered in many areas.
Accumulations will range from a coating to an inch or two on Nantucket, Mass., to 3 to 6 inches in Boston and close to a foot north and west of 128.
Wintry precipitation is forecast during the Army-Navy Classic Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Enough snow and icy mix can fall not only to impact the game at Philadelphia, but also to disrupt travel throughout the Northeast region.
If the warm air fails to reach into southeastern Massachusetts, a heavier accumulation could occur, including around Boston, as well as Rhode Island.
The storm will move away Sunday afternoon. Snow and slush will melt off roads. However, temperatures will plunge below freezing Sunday night causing wet areas to freeze. Be on the alert for black ice as a result.
