Weather Alert: Mix of rain, snow, and ice

MIX OF RAIN, SNOW, AND ICE

Expect cloudy skies today with patchy showers or drizzle at times, more so as things turn steadier by the evening commute. As temperatures drop, expect snowy and icy travel to develop north and west of Boston. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY will start at 5 PM and extend through noon Friday.

We’re expecting heavy rain to fall in southeastern MA, snow and sleet north of Boston and the MA Pike, and inland freezing rain (glaze). The southern Worcester Hills and Berkshires are expected to see the highest ice build-up, potentially up to 0.2″ - which can create dangerous travel and result in scattered power outages. The highest snow totals will come from the North Shore, Seacoast, and along the MA/NH border with 3-5″ snow and sleet.

Friday morning, much of the area will deal with a messy wintry mix of snow, ice, and rain. Expect delays. By midday precipitation will lighten with spotty drizzle (and possibly some pockets of freezing drizzle) continuing in the afternoon.

WARMING UP

Saturday looks seasonably with 40s, cloudy skies, and mostly dry weather. A spot shower is possible first thing in the morning, but the best chance for a brief weekend shower will come through with a front late Saturday night and early Sunday. Sunday will clear out quickly with highs in the 50s.

We’ll see abundant melting next week with highs in the 60s Monday through Friday!
