A nor’easter is set to descend on New England on Tuesday, with meteorologists expecting Boston and surrounding areas could see up to a foot of snow.

While maps differ slightly on just how far south the storm is going to be, it is expected to drastically lower visibility in the morning through early afternoon, and cause travel disruptions, power outages, and school closures.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced that the city’s public schools will be closed Tuesday and urged all residents to stay at home. Wu declared a snow emergency to begin at 10 p.m. Monday.

Snowfall is expected to start in the early morning, falling at a rate of 1 to 3 inches an hour. Meteorologist Dave Epstein predicts Boston, central Massachusetts, northern Rhode Island and Connecticut could get at least 8 to 10 inches of snow — possibly up to a foot in spots — with southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island getting between 3 to 6 inches, and the Cape may see 4 to 8 inches.

A winter storm warning has been issued for Tuesday for Greater Boston and most of Massachusetts, excluding northwest and southeast portions of the state and the Cape. Northern Rhode Island and Connecticut are also included in the warning. Southern New Hampshire and Vermont are under a winter storm watch Monday night into Tuesday.

The National Weather Service urged residents to take caution between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Tuesday, when the storm will have the “highest impact.”

“Travel during this period will be hazardous and is not recommended,” the agency said over X, formerly known as Twitter.
