A storm on Tuesday could bring plowable snow to parts of Massachusetts just in time for a white Christmas.

Forecasters predict up to 8 inches of snow in parts of Massachusetts on Friday night. Here’s what the latest maps show.

About 1-3 inches of snow is expected through Saturday in MetroWest and Greater Milford, according to Accuweather.

Snow showers begin to develop west to east as a fast-moving clipper arrives in the area beginning roughly between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. tonight. Most of the conditions will begin as light, fluffy snow accumulating before drier air and scattered conditions take over.

Parts of Massachusetts could see up to 5 inches of snow from a clipper system this weekend, according to the National Weather Service’s Boston office. The system will bring accumulating snow to southern New England from Friday night into Saturday morning.

The forecast leading up to the holiday is offering a bit of everything, from light snow to raindrops and strong winds. That said, Bostonians worried about a big winter storm this Tuesday can relax.

Massachusetts residents woke up Saturday morning to more snow than expected as the region was hit with its first sizeable storm of the season. Salt and plow trucks were out in full force trying to play catch up. Thousands of travelers from New York to Boston faced an unexpected change of plans as the snow system clogged roadways.

Friday’s winter storm is set to drop up to 8 inches of snow across Massachusetts during what experts are projecting to be “one of the busiest travel days of the year,” creating logistical difficulties and travel conditions that may be unsafe.
