...LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADS THE REGION THROUGH MID AFTERNOON AND 

MAY RESULT IN SLIPPERY TRAVEL FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE NEAR AND 

ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE...



Light snow will overspread the region through mid afternoon from 

west to east, with a coating to 2 inches of snow. Higher amounts

would be north of the MA Pike, and especially north of Rte 2. Some

locations in the high terrain of the East Slopes of the 

Berkshires may see localized 3 inch amounts.



While snow amounts into early this evening will be light, this 

does look to coincide with the late day commute. Therefore, 

motorists planning travel across northern Massachusetts this 

afternoon and early evening should be prepared for slippery travel

especially in the higher terrain.
