Friday's storm:

What forecasters say about the timing and impacts of the wintry mix in Mass.

You might want to keep your shovel handy a little longer — a messy wintry mix, including snow, has arrived in Massachusetts.

The storm arrived Friday night, bringing with it a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain that continue Saturday.

So far, local meteorologists are expecting higher snow accumulations will be seen at the state’s higher elevations and north of the Mass. Pike.

Below, see which areas of Massachusetts and the region forecasters are saying could see accumulating snowfall from the storm.

Colder air works in this afternoon and changes the mix back to snow. Not much road accumulation, but could be a coating to an inch or two on other surfaces before it ends. pic.twitter.com/pp9P7W4Gje

No significant changes to the AM map for predicted snow totals. There will be another set of data overnight to evaluate & make any necessary changes. We have about 30 hrs until the first flakes fly. Still am concerned about heavy wet nature of snow in those areas w/high totals. pic.twitter.com/bCWQwMhTc7

Boston 25 News

Key message with the latest snow map:
Highest totals for the elevations/interior
Mix along the coast
Plain rain for Cape & Islands
*We could get a quick burst of snow as the storm is moving out, possibly the best chance to see snow along the coast pic.twitter.com/xln8nj7ixE

Heaviest snow/sleet amounts will be across northern Mass. Even across Boston/MetroWest, those lower amounts are loaded with water content thanks to sleet and some drops mixed in. A lot of weight to push around. pic.twitter.com/EhinQgwW5U

No changes tonight…we'll see how it looks tomorrow. Most accumulation still expected midnight to 7am as we transition to sleet and rain and then the sun angle/warmer temps go to work during the day Saturday. #wbz pic.twitter.com/6wCHNj6iOL

I doubt much of Southern New England except the deep interior will see much accumulation after about 9am thanks to sun strength equivalent to October, but the burst until then accumulates & from north-Central MA northward continues to add up a bit longer, esp. Northern NewEng. pic.twitter.com/N88A7cVZ25

SNOW FORECAST
Heaviest snow the farther N&W you go where 4-8" of heavy, wet snow could accumulate.
2-4" near the pike and 128 where sleet will mix in (water logged and tough to move)
Sloppy coating to 2" immediate coast, Boston and areas south where it changes to rain #WCVB pic.twitter.com/eLVs5EiQFz
