MESSY TRAVEL THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING
Snow, rain, and ice are moving through southern New England overnight and will continue into early Friday, bringing messy travel for the morning commute. Rain moved in first for many towns, but with colder temperatures settling in, this is allowing sleet and freezing rain to mix in. The biggest travel concerns will come from the combination of snow and ice on untreated roads.
Freezing rain will be more of an issue across some of the higher elevations of the interior, while a lot of areas — especially north of the MA Pike — will see quite a bit of sleet mixing in with the snow. Either way, expect slippery roads and slower travel for the Friday morning commute. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through noon Friday.
Conditions will gradually improve late in the morning as the steadier precipitation winds down. During the afternoon, we may still see a stray sprinkle, flurry, or bit of sleet, but the bigger story will be the lingering clouds along with areas of fog and drizzle. Temperatures will stay on the cooler side with highs mainly in the 30s.
WEEKEND IN VIEW
The weekend starts off cloudy on Saturday. There could be a spot sprinkle in the morning, but a better chance of showers arrives later in the day as a front approaches. High temperatures will make it into the 40s. That rain moves out early Sunday, setting the stage for a much nicer end to the weekend with sunshine and highs in the 50s.
Even warmer weather is on the way early next week. Sunshine returns Monday and temperatures climb into the 60s, and that milder stretch will likely melt a good amount of the snow that’s still on the ground.
