The North Shore, Metro Boston, Worcester and part of Cape Cod got between 1 to 3 inches, while he Fitchburg and Springfield areas, the Merrimack Valley and the Islands got a coating.

Residents will get a brief break from the snow before flakes begin falling again around 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Warmer air will create a wintry mix during the overnight hours, bringing with it freezing rain and sleet during the Monday morning commute.

Parts of Worcester, Essex, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, and Berkshire counties could see 8 to 10 inches of snow.

Boston and points north could see between 4 and 8 inches. Communities along the South Shore will see up to 6 inches. The South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands will see a coating to 4 inches.

The snow is projected to move out around noon on Monday.

7News meteorologist Josh Wurster says Sunday’s snowstorm is a “little stronger” compared to Saturday’s because it carries more moisture.
