The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Wednesday night because several inches of snow are expected to accumulate.
A forecast that midday on Wednesday called for just a coating of snow has now been bumped up to the possibility of 1-4 inches of snow by Thursday morning. At 9:45 p.m. on Wednesday the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Danvers plus most of the North Shore. The advisory runs through 7 a.m. on Thursday. Snow has already begun to accumulate by 9:30 p.m. and some roads were snow covered and slippery. It is the first accumulating snow of the winter of 2012-13. A winter weather advisory is issued when snow or ice is in forecast but accumulations are expected to be light. “Snow will continue to affect the region well into the overnight hours,” the weather service said in its advisory. “The precipitation may change to …
Danvers can expect another storm shortly after Sandy moved out.
First Sandy, and now a Nor'easter. Massachusetts is in store for more wild weather as a Nor'easter heads our way Wednesday and into Thursday morning. According to WHDH meteorologist Chris Lambert, Danvers can expect to see the storm hit between 2 and 4 p.m. "What I've noticed over the last few model runs is a track farther east," Lambert said on his blog. "If that's the case, our wind stays more out of the NNE rather than going east, and that means colder weather gets locked in. It also means that dew point levels stay low. That's important because with dew points running near 20 and actual air temperatures (Wednesday) afternoon running near 40-45, a process called evaporative cooling can occur which allows rain to turn to snow.

The storm could drop 1 to 2 inches of rain late Wednesday into Thursday and bring wind gusts along the coast.
A little more than a week after 'superstorm' Sandy swept through Danvers, residents may have to brace for another windy, rainy night on Wednesday. A nor'easter could blow into the area mid-week and the storm could drop 1 to 2 inches of rain from Wednesday into Thursday, according to WHDH meteorologist Jeremy Rainer. Rainer also wrote that coastal winds could gust between 40 and 60 miles per hour along the South Shore, Cape Cod and the islands, although winds "will be much lighter inland with this storm." The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook statement on Monday at 8:44 p.m., saying that strong to damaging northeast winds are likely especially across Eastern Massachusetts late Wednesday into at least Thursday.

Sandy diminished in intensity last night but has picked up this morning.
Update, 8:20 a.m. Saturday: According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), Sandy has been upgraded again to a hurricane, just hours after being downgraded to a tropical storm. In its 8 a.m. bulletin, the NOAA reported an Air Force aircraft found hurricane-strength winds again. Earlier, in its 5 a.m. bulletin, the NOAA issued warnings and watches to the Southeastern parts of the country, including Florida, but said those up the Eastern seaboard need to prepare for its impact. The storm is moving North-Northeast at 10 mph and an increase in intensity and speed possible tonight and Sunday, according to the NOAA. Sandy is currently considered to be "very large," with winds extending as far as 450 miles from its center. …
