Boston 25 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz says the morning commute will be slick in spots. Be careful on untreated walks and driveways with below freezing temperatures after the rain and snow.

It’ll be dry and sunny Thursday with highs near 40. Clouds roll back in Friday, but temperatures warm into the 40s. That sets the stage for a warm start to the weekend. Highs will reach 60, but showers will be back. A cold front Saturday night will cool it back down for Sunday, but with some sunshine.

Winter driving tips from MassDOT:

- Clear snow and ice from all windows and lights, even the hood and roof, before driving, (start with the tailpipe).

- Leave plenty of room for stopping

- Remember that the posted speed limits are for dry pavement.

- Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in adverse conditions.

- Bridge decks freeze first. Due to the difference in the exposure to air, the surface condition can be worse on a bridge than on the approach road.

- Exit ramps are an even greater challenge during the winter since they may have received less anti-icing material than the main line.

- Leave room for maintenance vehicles and plows – stay back at least 200 feet and don’t pass on the right.

- Seat belts should be worn at all times – it’s the law.

- Most importantly please remember to slow down.
