Winter weather advisories in various parts of the US were upgraded by National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists to a more severe winter storm warning.

The most significant snow accumulations from the winter storm will be north of the Mass Pike and west of I-495.

And it looks like the first winter storm could be on its way next week, at least for some of Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service branch in Norton. Cape Cod is so far predicted to get just rain, no snow.

On Friday at 7:59 p.m. a special weather statement was released by the National Weather Service until 10 p.m. for Northern Worcester as well as Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden counties.

The National Weather Service is predicting that the first part of this weekend is going to be cold. This is the time of year when the chill in the air starts getting a little bit colder, and when snowflakes become more common.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for parts of Massachusetts as a developing low-pressure system is expected to bring heavy snow to the region early in the week.
