Meteorologist Mike Wankum reports that a light snow and rain system is expected to move into Massachusetts on Wednesday morning, potentially impacting the morning commute. The snow is expected to be light, with around an inch of accumulation in Boston and slightly higher amounts in the northern and western parts of the state. The system is expected to move out by lunchtime, with cloudy skies and milder temperatures in the 40s for the afternoon.

Why it matters

The light snow and rain could make for slippery road conditions during the Wednesday morning commute, so drivers should be cautious. While the snowfall totals are not expected to be significant, any wintry precipitation can still pose challenges for travel.

The details

The snow is expected to begin around 6 AM in Worcester and reach Boston by 8 AM on Wednesday. It will be light snow, not the heavy, blizzard-like conditions the region recently experienced. The snow may mix with rain, especially on the Cape, as temperatures warm up during the day. There is also a chance of a light burst of snow or flurries on Wednesday night, but the bulk of the precipitation is expected in the morning hours.
