A weak system will pass through the region Wednesday bringing mostly rain showers south. However, with some cold air holding onto portions of the interior, we could see a bit of sleet and freezing rain at the onset, but by the mid-morning, temps should rise above freezing as milder air flows into the region via a southerly airflow. 

The mild air will have a tough time making it into central and northern New England which is why we’ll see rain/snow showers much of the day as colder air holds on, especially in the low levels. Highs reach the mid-40s to low 50s south, 30s north.

Colder air moves back into New England Wednesday night, with clearing skies behind a cold front which will bring seasonable and dry conditions to the region on Thursday.

Though we’re several days away, forecast models, including our own in-house model, are becoming more consistent, showing a sizable snowstorm for much of the area, including the City of Boston, which is still waiting for its first 1-inch snowfall.

There are still some details to work out, such as the storm’s exact track and where the snow/rain line sets up, which looks to be across southeastern Massachusetts.
