Next winter system to create messy commute Thursday
On Wednesday, Greater Boston could see a few afternoon snow flurries blowing in off the ocean. But late Wednesday night, heads up! A bigger system will push toward southern New England, giving way to quite a mess overnight into Thursday. In fact, Thursday is a First Alert.
Snow will begin moving in closer to 10 or 11 p.m. Wednesday. Snow will continue for much of the Commonwealth overnight into Thursday. For now, some areas could about one to two inches of snow, with a few spots seeing up to three inches of snow. However, this is not just a snow event.
As warmer air nudges in, the snow will transition into sleet or freezing rain just before the early morning commute on Thursday. The potential for ice will make traveling very tricking, causing bridges, overpasses, and some roads to become slick quickly. Some sidewalks could also get icy. Be careful! Later Thursday morning and afternoon, as temperatures climb into the upper 40s, the freezing rain will transition into rain. Stay tuned for more updates with the wintry weather moving in.
Valentine’s Day this Friday look sunny and cold. High temperatures will be in the low 30s.
