Updated Forecast Predicts Half Foot of Snow in Canton

Despite an initial forecast of 1-3 inches of snow, Canton may get a little more than expected.

Originally thought to be a small storm that would drop only 3-5 inches of snow in Canton, a new forecast from WHDH shows the town getting closer to six or more inches through Friday in the area. 

In addition, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Norfolk County until 1 p.m. Friday. The warning claims the potential for anywhere from 4-8 inches of snow in the area, with a low probability of 10 inches in some isolated areas.

According to the warning, the heaviest accumulations are expected tonight into Friday morning but some accumulations will occur today especially across the elevated interior areas of southeast Massachusetts.
