Sunday starts off dry, with clouds thickening through the late morning, according to 7NEWS meteorologist Jackie Layer.
The first snowflakes are projected to start falling in Western Massachusetts by mid-afternoon. The storm will then travel east across the majority of the Bay State.
As the system evolves off the Southern New England coastline, the rain/snow line will hover within the Interstate 495 corridor into Monday morning’s commute, Layer predicted.

The snow will continue to fall in higher elevations and areas inland, with plowable snow likely for Worcester County and parts of southern New Hampshire, she added.
The National Weather Service predicts the state could see accumulations of 4 to 8 inches, with those living along the immediate coastline — where the snow is expected to mix with some sleet — getting 3 to 5, according to 7NEWS meteorologist Josh Wurster.
