Good morning everybody, we’ve got a very light wintry event on the way, but all you need is a glaze/trace of ice on the road ways to make them very slippery.
I say this so you don’t snooze on your level of alertness when traveling this evening, overnight, or early tomorrow morning.
Some of us will see sunshine for a while today generally north of the MassPike, with mostly cloudy skies to the south. Eventually, we will all cloud over as the day wears on.
Highs will reach the mid to upper 30s, and as moisture flow comes in off the ocean waters, we can’t rule out some drizzle or freezing drizzle late across portions of Worcester County, southwest NH, or even the eastern hilltowns, such as Shutesbury, Wendell, New Salem, etc. This could extend down into Tolland County, CT in those hills down that way.
It will become cloudy tonight, as our coastal low tracks NNE toward and to the east of Nantucket.
To be honest, I could see the precip shield from this system becoming very spotty over the WMass region late tonight into early tomorrow morning.
But, it doesn’t matter, as at least some isolated to scattered light showers of sleet, freezing rain and rain along freezing drizzle patches should form in spots between 3am-7am Monday morning, and produce slippery travel for some, so give yourself some extra time tomorrow morning for travel.
A trace to a tenth of an inch of ice accretion is expected.

Lows will be in the upper 20s to low 30s, and the worst of the icing (for this light event) should be in the Taconics, Litchfields, Berkshires, SVT, northern Worcester hills, and hilltowns either side of the river, as well as the Monadnock region of southwest NH.
Any icing (except for those generally above 1500 feet) should turn to rain showers Monday as the storm makes its closest pass.
Highs should reach the 35-40 degree range, though we may hang in the low 30s with some patchy freezing rain in SVT the northern Berkshires.
Wind gusts out of the northeast could reach 20-25mph, with gusts over 30mph in southern Worcester County down into northeast CT.
We should see a lull in precip Monday evening into the night, but then we will turn our eyes west.
The combination of wraparound moisture from the northwest flank of our coastal low, working in concert with an incoming upper level system and its resultant lift, will produce another area of rain, ice and even snow late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
With lows Monday night expected in the upper 20s to low 30s, any rain will change to freezing rain, sleet and snow into the Tuesday morning commute, mainly north of the Rt. 2 corridor and west of I-91 in the high terrain of eastern NY, WMass, NW.CT and SVT.
Some coatings of snow are possible, as well as additional light ice accumulations that could cause slippery travel.
SYNOPSIS
The bottom line is that we have to watch for patchy slippery conditions across the region for both the Monday and Tuesday morning commutes.
Tuesday should remain mostly cloudy with any wintry or rainy showers ending by noon, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Wednesday and Thursday look partly to mostly sunny with highs in the 40s, before another cold front moves through Thursday night into Friday with more rain showers possible.
Looks like a decent weekend for next Saturday and Sunday with seasonable highs in the 40s, and more showers by next Monday.
