Good afternoon everyone, This is just a general heads-up email regarding a potential wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet and even some light snow mainly across western Massachusetts and Connecticut beginning late Saturday night and continuing into Sunday night. As there often is in mixed-precipitation events, there remains some uncertainty on how widespread the impacts will be, but these can be refined in future emails. *What:* - A mix of freezing rain and sleet, changing to snow before ending. - Light ice accumulations possible, with slippery conditions on area roadways. *Where:* - Especially the higher terrain of western Massachusetts and Connecticut although some of central Massachusetts and Connecticut. - Even areas where all rain is experienced, a brief period of accumulating snow is possible late Sunday night into early Monday. - Risk for some impact to Monday morning commute. *When:* - Precipitation begins late Saturday night, spreading north into the morning Sunday. - Gradual change to rain outside of the high terrain during the day Sunday. - Gradual change to snow possible late Sunday night into Monday morning everywhere before ending. *When We Will Know More:* We will continue to resolve the precipitation type issues over the next 24 hours.
