Mass. weather: Snow showers, wintry mix ahead

Light snow is expected across Massachusetts on Saturday night, with frigid temperatures to follow.

Snow showers will dust the state starting after midnight, according to the National Weather Service, but accumulation will be minimal — less than 1 inch in the Berkshires and less than a half-inch in the rest of the state.

Overnight temperatures will drop to the low 20s in Boston and on Cape Cod and the Islands, while Central and Western Massachusetts will hit the mid-teens.

Sunday will be even colder, with highs in the 20s for most of the state. Pittsfield is expected to see sub-zero temperatures Sunday night, while Springfield and Worcester will drop to around 10 degrees. Boston will see a low of 12 degrees, while Cape Cod and the Islands will get down around 16 degrees.

Temperatures will rise on Monday into Tuesday, bringing the possibility of freezing rain or a wintry mix early Tuesday.
