Forecast Key Messages
- Rain ongoing today will transition to sleet and freezing rain across the higher terrain heading into the evening hours, along with areas north of I-90. Precipitation expected to last through Friday morning. Greatest risk for 0.25"+ ice accretion remains in the high terrain of the southern Worcester Hills and southern Berkshires. Plowable snow more likely in far NE MA. Lingering drizzle as precip tapers off Fri afternoon.
- Turning milder with a warming trend this weekend and increasing risk for showers Sat night into early Sun as a cold front approaches.
- Potential for a few days of unseasonably mild conditions next week but have to watch a backdoor front to the north which would bring much cooler temps. Accelerated snowmelt will lead to steady rises on rivers and streams through the week. A period of showers accompany a cold front late Wed-Thu, then turning cooler towards the end of the week.
