A blend of rain and snow falls over New England as a storm system moves in.
A quick-moving storm is set to impact New England, bringing a mix of light snow and rain across the region. Boston and surrounding areas will experience steady rain, while northern regions may see snowfall. Afternoon temperatures are expected to rise, minimizing road issues. Travelers to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine should prepare for increased snowfall. Expect gusty winds and additional weather changes later in the week.
Hey there, folks! If you’re in Boston or anywhere else across beautiful New England, grab your jackets and maybe an umbrella because we’ve got some pretty interesting weather headed our way. A quick-moving storm is making its way across the region, bringing with it a blend of warm and cold fronts that guarantees a delightful mix of precipitation—so do keep an eye on the skies!
As you head out this morning, you might find yourself dodging light snow and steady rain. Yes, it’s true! Boston and most of Massachusetts, as well as Rhode Island, are experiencing light rain that’s expected to continue into the morning hours. And if you’re traveling north along Route 2, be cautious! Morning temperatures are hovering around or below freezing, meaning you’ll probably encounter some pesky snow showers before they gracefully transition into rain.
But don’t worry too much about the roads; even if there’s a brief moment when freezing rain might make things slippery, temperatures are set to rise pretty quickly. By the afternoon, expect those temperatures to climb close to a warm and toasty 50 degrees, which should help minimize any road issues.
Now, for those in the northern parts of Berkshire County, listen up! The highest elevations might see up to 2 inches of snow before that rain starts to take over. If this storm decides to take its time moving through (and we all know that sometimes happens), you might notice light snow stretching from Worcester to Newton, although we’re not expecting those amounts to be significant.
For anyone venturing into Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, prepare for a bit more snow. These regions will stay under the charm of steady light snow throughout the morning. Here’s the scoop: while temperatures in Southern New England will likely start just above freezing and inch toward that 50-degree mark, areas in Central and Southern New Hampshire can expect to gather 3 to 5 inches of snow before things warm up.
The remainder of Northern New England is primarily expecting 1 to 3 inches of the white stuff. Regardless of whether it’s rain or snow, this storm appears to be on the lighter end when it comes to total precipitation—so at least there’s that!
As we slide into the afternoon, be on the lookout for scattered rain showers. These might hang around just enough to greet you on your evening commute, but don’t fret too much. Southern New England should clear up pretty nicely after dinner, giving us a chance to enjoy that post-dinner atmosphere!
Brace yourself for some gusty winds this morning as well! Along the coast, winds could whip up to a brisk 20 miles per hour, making it feel a tad chillier than the temperatures suggest. But alas, it won’t last long! Tomorrow is shaping up to be pretty sunny across most of New England, although some northern areas may still catch a few stray snow showers.
And don’t ready those summer clothes just yet! Another weather system is on the horizon, due to roll into town late Friday evening, which will usher in a drop in temperatures as Canadian air sweeps through over the weekend. South or north, stay safe out there—Mother Nature is showing off her colors!
