Winter Weather System on the Way
A storm that is forecasted to move across New England on Wednesday night through Thursday is unlikely to bring any snow to Marblehead.
Marblehead is expected to see only rain from a storm on Wednesday night and Thursday that could drop as much as a foot of snow to the north.
Wednesday night's storm will be "loaded with moisture and energy as well as warm air" and keep it almost entirely rain in Danvers, writes WHDH-TV meteorlogist Jeremy Reiner in a blog post on Christmas Day.
The precipitation will start between 8-10 p.m. and may be snow for a short time to start. Then it will change to rain and a total of 1-2 inches of rain will fall, with gusty winds too on Thursday morning and early afternoon.

A more serious threat of accumulating snow is forecasted for Saturday night and Sunday. Right now, the National Weather service says only that there is a 40 percent chance of "snow," without specifying the expected totals.
