The western and central parts of the state got hit with a significant snowfall Sunday, with some areas in the Berkshires reporting accumulation of nearly a foot, according to the National Weather Service.

By Sunday night there were “snow showers across a good part of the state,’’ and accumulations had reached 11 inches in Lenox, the highest total reported, according to Kevin Cadima, a meteorologist with the weather service.

But only flurries were expected in the Boston area, he said.

The state’s first snow of the season came in late October, dropping 6 inches on Rowe and 5 inches on Heath, both just south of the Vermont border.

The snow was expected to let up overnight, according to William Babcock, another meteorologist with the weather service, with only scattered snow showers expected Monday morning.

The precipitation could affect the morning commute in the western part of the state, Babcock added, but in Williamstown on Sunday, Jane Miller said the snow was “absolutely dreamlike.’’

Despite the snow,  Massachusetts State Police Trooper Paul Sullivan said roads across the state seemed safe and authorities had seen no increase in accidents.

Nissa Curtin, a barista at Starving Artist Creperie & Cafe in Lee, said the snow had cheerful customers stopping by for hot lattes. “People are coming in all bundled up,’’ Curtin said. She estimated that about 2 inches of “heavy, wet’’ snow was on the ground, with more in the forecast, but “people in Western Mass. enjoy the winter.’’

Flurries moved into Boston shortly after 11 p.m., but Cadima said they would not lead to any accumulation.

Heading into Monday, winds could gust up to 40 to 50 miles per hour, as temperatures bottom out in the lower 30s, the meteorologists said. The damp air will dry out over the next few days, with some clouds lingering amid increasing sunshine, Babcock said.

Another storm will probably move into Massachusetts on Wednesday night, he said, giving some areas a chance of rain or snow showers on Thanksgiving.

In the western part of the state, where precipitation will begin falling earlier Thursday morning, there is a greater chance of snow or sleet, he said, but as temperatures warm through the morning and into the afternoon, precipitation will be wet.
