Snow squall advisories are in effect for parts of Massachusetts as a band of intense snowfall makes its way across the state.
The National Weather Service extended the squall warning several times on Thursday morning, with the most recent advisory running until 9:45 a.m. for southern Suffolk County, Norfolk County, Worcester County and south central Middlesex County.
A snow squall is a short burst of heavy snow and wind, which can cause dangerous “whiteout” conditions.
A snow squall moving across Massachusetts was reported to have dropped 1.5 inches in a span of 30 minutes in Millis on Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
The squalls could continue in the eastern part of the state for “the next few hours,” according to the National Weather Service.
