MA Weather: Rain Could Turn To Sleet, Snow Early Monday

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the western half of the state, and a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the eastern half on Sunday headed into Monday, meaning the morning commute could be problematic for many across the state.

Bring your patience and your galoshes, folks.

On Sunday the forecasters predicted rain with a mix of sleet until midnight and then turning to rain after 1 a.m. Although the low was predicted to be at 36, it could still make for slick roads overnight and in the morning.

Headed the Monday morning commute, there is the potential for rain to transition back into snow, especially over eastern and northeastern areas of Massachusetts, according to the NWS.

Later Monday watch for the clouds and continued rain likely, mainly before 11 a.m. and fog, even with a high near 42.

Monday Night is forecast to be mostly cloudy, with a low around 25. Blustery, with a northwest wind 11 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph.

There could be adjustments made to the forecast before the snow starts, the NWS said. Subscribe to your local Patch for the latest.
