Cleanup from the weekend’s snowstorm may still be underway, but already meteorologists are warning Massachusetts residents that another impactful storm system is on its way to the region.
The “potentially high impact” system will move into the region late Tuesday into Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service, bringing with it strong to damaging winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding.
Service meteorologists said for interior Massachusetts, the conditions could be cold enough at the start for precipitation to begin as snow, but otherwise, eastern parts of the state should see rain as the storm moves in.
“Rain will perhaps be the greatest impact of this event for the interior population,” the service said.
Below, check out the latest maps from local meteorologists forecasting the potential impacts of the storm, from rain to snow to high winds.

Snow flurries are expected to sweep across Massachusetts on Saturday morning, with some areas of the state potentially receiving up to three inches of accumulation by the end of the day.
The snow is “expected to be light and fluffy in nature given the cold atmosphere,” according to the National Weather Service.
It’s expected to taper off from west to east later in the afternoon.
Western Massachusetts and Worcester will likely see the lightest snowfall. These areas, with a high of 31 degrees, can expect less than an inch of accumulation, while Springfield may only see a dusting.
The Berkshires, where temperatures may struggle to reach 28 degrees could see up to an inch of snow.
Eastern parts of Massachusetts are expected to see the most snowfall. Boston, with a high of 33 degrees, may see around two inches of snow.
However, Essex County could reach three inches by the time snow wraps up after 8 p.m., the National Weather Service reported.
Cape Cod may have milder temperatures with a high of 35 degrees and is expected to see the least amount of snow, which will likely be less than an inch.
