BOSTON (WHDH) – Another winter storm is expected to bring more snow to Massachusetts on Sunday, which will lead to difficult travel after parts of the state were buried with more than 20 inches of fresh powder earlier this week.

A winter storm warning is in effect from Sunday morning to the end of Sunday evening for parts of Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Middlesex, Plymouth, Suffolk and Worcester counties.

The storm is expected to arrive between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., according to 7Weather chief meteorologist Jeremy Reiner. It could possibly persist for up to 20 hours before moving. While there shouldn’t be strong winds or heavy flooding, the wet snow from the storm will make driving difficult, especially in the afternoon.

Heavy snow is possible in the warning zones with accumulations of 4 to 8 inches possible, with a potential for a fall of 1 to 2 inches per hour after 9 a.m.

The south coast could see 6 to 8 inches of snow, while Boston, Worcester County, the West Tube, the North Rim and the Merrimack Valley could receive 4 to 6 inches of snow.

Western Massachusetts will likely receive about 2-4 inches of snowfall.

Winds could blow up to 40 mph and travel could be very difficult during the storm.
