A tricky commute is likely on Thursday morning. Freezing rain and sleet will continue to fall just to the north and west of Interstate 95.
Temperatures in Boston will be just above freezing, so from the city south and east, we can expect plain rain.
Throughout the day, colder, but drier air will move in. Sleet, freezing rain, and rain are reduced to light freezing drizzle throughout the afternoon. Very icy conditions are possible during the evening commute home. Interior areas fall into the 20s.

Sunday, we could see some light snow in the afternoon. Otherwise, it’s cloudy with highs in the middle 30’s. Monday is mostly sunny, highs in the upper 30’s. Watching another storm threat for Tuesday, initial guidance indicates snow, but this is likely to change.
