A new snowstorm is headed our way for Saturday and Sunday, and Mansfield could see up to 12 inches of new snow before it's done.

On his blog, WHDH meteorologist Pete Bouchard is calling for light rain along the coast Saturday with snow inland and snow everywhere by Sunday morning. There may also be some coastal flooding.

As of now, forecasts call for 4 to 8 inches of snow in most of Southeastern Massachusetts and along the shore, with 8 to 12 inches of new snow in the Merrimack Valley out to the western part of the state
