Westborough officials have issued a snow emergency, banning on-street parking from 1 this afternoon to 6 a.m. Saturday, Police Chief Alan Gordon said.
"Violators will be tagged and towed for impeding snow removal," Gordon said in a press release.
The National Weather Service in Taunton, meanwhile, now says Westborough could get 18 to 24 inches of snow from this storm, about twice the earlier forecast.
The agency has extended its winter storm warning to 7 tonight. The warning was to expire at 1 p.m.
