Good morning everyone
This is just a very brief outline concerning areas of freezing drizzle/light freezing rain threat to the northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor into this evening. There also is the potential for Wednesday morning snow, mainly across the interior high terrain along the east slopes of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills.
WHAT/WHERE/WHEN:
- Areas of freezing drizzle will remain possible through the afternoon to the northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor.
- Steadier rain/freezing rain overspreads the region between 5 and 9 pm this evening. Greatest concern for freezing rain will be across portions of the CT River Valley, into central and northeast MA.
- We will need to keep a close eye on northeast MA, especially Middlesex and Essex counties. Temperatures may temporarily rise above freezing, but fall back into the upper 20s to the lower 30s later this afternoon and evening, resulting in icy conditions developing.
- Untreated roads/walkways may already be or become icy to the northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. Evening rush hour may be impacted.
- There is a low risk that sub-freezing temperatures move back even into the Boston metro area for a time this evening, resulting in the development of icy conditions.
- Lastly, there may be a burst of snow Wednesday morning across the higher terrain of MA with an impact to the am rush hour possible. This would mainly be across the east slopes of the Berks and perhaps portions of the Worcester Hills. We will have more on this later in the afternoon, but a few inches are possible especially along the east slopes of the Berks.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank You
