Wishing you had booked that February vacation to a warm destination?

The next winter storm in this active weather pattern could bring a widespread 3 to 6 inches of snow to the Bay State this holiday weekend.

Then after that round of snow, meteorologists will be “closely watching” a possible coastal storm for the middle of school vacation week.

As for this weekend, forecast models are showing that this storm could be a more amplified system compared to recent storms. The snow is expected to start Saturday afternoon, followed by a transition to ice and freezing rain by mid-morning Sunday.

Boston has a 60% chance of getting four-plus inches of snow, according to the models as of Thursday afternoon.

“It’s looking like a widespread 3 to 6 inches throughout the entire region,” NWS Boston meteorologist Francis Tarasiewicz told the Herald.

More snow is expected to fall north of the Mass Pike.

Roads should be mostly snow-covered on Saturday evening, followed by icy roads on Sunday. The National Weather Service will likely issue a “Winter Weather Advisory” ahead of the weekend.

“Precipitation likely gets underway later Saturday afternoon,” NWS wrote. “Cold air in place will result in widespread snow at the onset… Precip will eventually mix with and change to a wintry mix from south to north as the mid-level warm nose works its way north Saturday night into Sunday. The northward extent of the warmest air and plain rain is still in question.

“With a southern trend in the modeled storm track, there is a chance that areas north of route 2 maintain sleet and freezing rain for the majority of the event,” NWS added. “Further south, there is better confidence in a quicker transition from a mix to rain by Sunday afternoon, especially across the coastal plain.”

Then for next week, there’s a chance for a coastal storm in the Wednesday to Thursday timeframe. Some forecast models have the system closer to the coast, and others have the system further away.

“We’ll be closely watching that,” Tarasiewicz said. “The exact track is still highly uncertain at this time.”
