Light snow will persist until about midnight in Massachusetts, with heavier snowfall on the Cape, according to the National Weather Service’s Taunton office.

By about 4 p.m., half an inch of snow had fallen in Boston.

The city will see “very light snow continuing for most of the evening, probably ending around or after midnight,” said meteorologist Kevin Cadima. “It’s going to be very light though.”

Lows are expected to dip to about 20 degrees in the eastern part of the state tonight with wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour.

Light snow will continue in the coastal region due to a departing ocean storm. In Western Massachusetts, temperatures will drop to the mid-teens.

“Tonight’s going to be pretty chilly,” said meteorologist Stephanie Dunten.

Monday will be sunny with highs in the low-30s in Boston, though winds 15 to 20 miles per hour and gusts of up to 30 miles per hour will make it feel cooler.

Overnight temperatures on Monday will drop to the single digits in areas including Worcester, Fitchburg, and Greenfield.

Boston will see lows of about 15 degrees Monday night.

Weather for the rest of the week will be fairly consistent in Boston, with highs each day in the upper-20s or mid-30s and overnight lows in the teens.

Though there is a slight chance of precipitation each day, Friday has the highest chance of rain or snow.
