The National Weather Service says a round of light snow, sleet and freezing rain will arrive Tuesday afternoon and evening from southwest to northeast across parts of the region, making for a slippery Tuesday evening commute. As this low encounters some cooler air we’ll see rain mix with possible some freezing rain and then change over to snow.

While New York City saw a fairly pleasant weekend with sunny skies and warmer temperatures, we can kiss all that goodbye soon, as another winter storm will bring rain and possibly thunderstorms for Tuesday. The strongest storms are expected to pass over the southern 1/3rd of East Texas and that is why the Storm Prediction Center has placed the Southern sections of ETX under a SLIGHT RISK for severe weather. It should spread snow and rain into Connecticut Sunday night, but a change to all snow seems likely in the pre-dawn hours. It looks like this storm will generate a heavy swath of 7 to 10 inches of snow.
Snowfall is expected to be the biggest impact of this event, with some areas seeing greater than 6 inches of snow. Meteorologist with Environment Canada Geoff Coulson tells Heart FM at this point it is impossible to say how much precipitation we will get on Wednesday.
Showers have already started to push into Central Alabama this morning ahead of a frontal system that will bring us even more rain over the next several days.
The rain should taper off Tuesday night before a second round hits Wednesday.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency warned of freezing rain, heavy rain, and coastal flooding. We will likely see a mix of clouds and sunshine with highs ranging from the middle 40s along the southeast shore to between 50 and 56 degrees over interior portions of the state.

Snow showers end Thursday night, with lows in the upper teens (-7° Celsius). Higher amounts near or above 10 inches are also on the table.
