The predominant precipitation type will be rain. However, there will be some snow before all is said and done.

Rain showers are expected to begin in the early afternoon, moving from west to east across the state. Most of Massachusetts, including Boston, Worcester and Western Massachusetts, can expect to see rain the rest of the day as temperatures are forecast to reach the low 40s. The Berkshires could experience a mix of rain and light snow.

Massachusetts could see several inches of snow this weekend from a weather system passing over the region on Sunday night, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service's Boston office.
