Snow, Sleet, Rain Expected to Make a Messy Monday Commute

By Les Masterson (Patch Staff)

A mix of rain, snow and sleet on Monday morning is expected to create a potentially messy commute to start the work week.

The National Weather Service said the wintry mix should hit eastern Massachusetts by 7 a.m. and last during the Monday morning commute. The precipitation should switch over to rain by noon before a wintry mix returns later in the day and Monday night.

The storm should not bring much accumulation -- between a coating to 2 inches of snow. 7News’ Chris Lambert said ”pockets of freezing drizzle or light freezing rain may add to slippery spots (Monday), especially in the morning.”

The expected high temperatures of the mid-30s on Monday will be a memory by Tuesday when cold returns to the area. The high temperature on Tuesday may only reach 20 degrees.

The rest of the week is expected to see highs in the 20s and low 30s. Weather forecasters do not expect any major snow for the coming week.
