...RAIN TRANSITIONS TO A PERIOD OF SNOW OVERNIGHT MAY RESULT IN

ROADS BECOMING SNOW COVERED AND SLIPPERY FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE...



Rain is already transitioning to snow across the Berkshires and 

this process will occur over the next few hours across the rest of

western and central Massachusetts. The rain across northeast 

Massachusetts should change to snow by 2 or 3 AM.



A coating to 2 inches of snow accumulation is possible through

daybreak. The higher of the amounts are more likely in the 

Worcester Hills and portions of northeast Massachusetts, where 

some 3 inch amounts are possible. Untreated roads may become snow 

covered and slippery for the morning commute. This is especially 

true across the Worcester Hills and northeast Massachusetts, where

it may still be snowing for the first part of the Wednesday

morning commute.



Motorists planning travel overnight into early Wednesday morning,

should be prepared for roads becoming snow covered and slippery. 

Allow extra time for the morning commute, especially in the 

Worcester Hills into northeast Massachusetts.
