FIRST ALERT: Tracking two rounds of snow today and tomorrow

FIRST ALERT: Tracking two rounds of snow today and tomorrow

It’s a First Alert weekend!We’re tracking not one but two rounds of snow for parts of New England, including right here in the Greater Boston area.Click here for any active weather alerts in your areaHere’s our weekend forecast:Snow SaturdayWe’re keeping an eye on the first round of wintry weather today. An area of low pressure will swing a few snow showers over the Commonwealth this morning into the afternoon, largely impacting communities outside of the 495 corridor with accumulating snow. How much snow will we get Saturday in Massachusetts, New Hampshire?In fact, neighborhoods along and west of 495 and those in central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire could see between 1-3 inches of snow today and possibly up to 4 inches in the Berkshires. Boston, on the other hand, will likely see a rain/snow mix for much of this event as temperatures hover well above freezing, cutting down on the snow potential. Still, Boston could see from a coating up to 1 inch of snow. High temperatures will warm into the low 40s this afternoon. As this event wraps up later this evening, a few spots from Boston southward could see a quick shot of snow. Otherwise, our skies will gradually clear into the night.Snow SundayOn Sunday, all eyes will be on a coastal low that will push north from the Carolinas. Our forecast models suggest that the low will be close enough to the Commonwealth that parts of our viewing area will likely see snow Sunday afternoon and evening. How much snow will we get Sunday in Massachusetts, New Hampshire?Southeastern Mass. will have the best chance to see accumulating snow from this event, from 1-3 inches. Farther north toward Boston, the snow accumulations could range from a coating up to an inch. Some light snow is also possible during the Patriots/Texans game at Gillette Stadium.Snow accumulations could changeCould these snow accumulations change? Yes, all depending on the storm’s exact track. A westward track toward New England would bring more snow west and north toward Boston. A track farther to the east would diminish the threat for snow. So, we’ll keep an eye on it for you. High temperatures will be in the upper 30s.MLK Jr. Day forecastWe’re expecting sunny, cold and breezy conditions for MLK, Jr. Day on Monday. High temperatures will be in the mid 30s. Even colder weather pushes in by Tuesday and Wednesday with morning temps in the teens and single digits.

NFL playoffs resume Saturday with Divisional Round. Here's the schedule, how to watch

Conference championship game berths are up for grabs in the NFL playoffs.The postseason resumes Saturday with a pair of Divisional Round showdowns – one in the AFC and one in the NFC. And both matchups feature a No. 6-seeded wild card team visiting a No. 1 seed coming off of a first-round bye.The two-game slate kicks off in the Mile High City as the No. 1 Denver Broncos welcome in the No. 6 Buffalo Bills. This is the second straight postseason meeting between Buffalo and Denver – the Bills cruised past the Broncos 31-7 at home in last year’s Wild Card Round.Josh Allen and the Bills are in the Divisional Round for the sixth straight year as they look to make back-to-back conference championship games. Allen engineered two separate go-ahead touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to lead the Bills past the No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in the Wild Card Round.Buffalo, in search of its first-ever Super Bowl title, now visits a Broncos team that has lost just once at home this season and is powered by an elite defense. Denver led the league in sacks with 68 – 11 more than the next-closest team – while ranking second in yards against and third in points against.Sean Payton‘s Broncos are seeking the franchise’s first playoff victory since its 2015 championship season.NFLJan 6These playoff teams are among NFL's Super Bowl title-less franchisesNFLJan 6How many wild-card teams have won the Super Bowl in NFL history?The action then shifts to Seattle for a NFC West clash between the No. 6 San Francisco 49ers and No. 1 Seattle Seahawks. The already injury-riddled 49ers lost star tight end George Kittle to a torn Achilles in the Wild Card Round, but still managed to upset the defending Super Bowl champion No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles 23-19. Brock Purdy quarterbacked a go-ahead touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter before San Francisco’s defense came up with a game-sealing stop.San Francisco now faces Seattle for the second time in three weeks and the third time this season. While the 49ers beat the Seahawks on the road in Week 1, Seattle got revenge in Week 18 with a 13-3 win to capture the division crown and the No. 1 seed. The Seahawks’ top-ranked scoring defense limited the 49ers to 173 yards of total offense and held them to a combined 2-for-11 on third and fourth downs.But whether Sam Darnold will have any limitations is the biggest storyline entering the playoff matchup, and that’s assuming he actually makes the start. The Seahawks quarterback is listed as questionable after appearing on the injury report this week with an oblique injury.Seattle is looking to make the conference title game for the first time since the 2014 season, while San Francisco is on the brink of its fourth appearance in five years.Which two teams will advance to Conference Championship Sunday? And who will be sent home?
