Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu are both set to join state and city leaders at separate press conferences today to provide a winter storm update.
Our latest forecast shows snow accumulation between 12″ to 18″ is likely for most, with amounts approaching two feet for some. Travel Monday is expected to be extremely difficult to nearly impossible, and schools in Massachusetts have already started announcing they’ll be closed.
This will likely be Boston’s first blizzard since January 2022.
Wu has declared a snow emergency and parking ban in Boston effective at 2 p.m. Sunday. The mayor will be at Boston City Hall at 10:30 a.m. to share information about the city’s preparations ahead of the storm’s arrival. It will be livestreamed in the video player above.
Tevin Wooten and Pamela Gardner have the details on our approaching weather system, which could likely be our first blizzard since January 2022..
At 1 p.m., Healey will be at the state emergency operations center in Framingham. She’s expected to be joined by a host of other leaders including Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, Public Safety and Security Secretary Gina Kwon, Transportation Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phil Eng, Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper, Transportation Undersecretary and Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver, MBTA Chief Operating Officer Ryan Colohan, MEMA Director Dawn Brantley, and Massachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble.
