Thursday’s sloppy morning precipitation has come and gone, but a Winter Storm Watch is already in place for our next round of wintry weather on the way this weekend. For snow lovers, this could be a good one!

Forecasters warn that a storm stemming from the Midwest could bring between 6 to 9 inches of snow Saturday night to Massachusetts.

The heaviest snow totals are expected in northern New Jersey, with lower snow totals forecast for Central Jersey.

Snow is expected to stop in Worcester and the western part of the state before 9 a.m., gradually moving out of eastern Massachusetts by noon. Essex, Suffolk and Middlesex counties in the northeast part of the state may see snow showers through 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A winter storm warning has been issued for four states amid a snow storm that could bring up to 34 inches of snow to some areas on Thursday and Friday. Freezing temperatures may pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as infants and older adults.

On Thursday at 3:10 a.m. the NWS Eureka CA issued a winter storm warning valid from 10 a.m. until Friday 10 a.m. for Southern Trinity.
