Boston, Massachusetts—Late Wednesday night, light snow is predicted north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, and on Thursday morning, it will turn to rain. There may be 1-3 inches of accumulation at higher elevations, but there shouldn’t be any significant effects on traffic.
As temperatures rise, the snowfall will be brief, according to Boston’s National Weather Service. The morning commute is predicted to shift to rain, which lowers the possibility of ice conditions. Only rain will fall at lower elevations, such as Boston, Providence, and Hartford.
Wet roads and poor visibility are to be expected for drivers heading north and along I-90. In steep areas, little slushy accumulations may occur prior to precipitation turning into rain.
Officials suggest leaving additional time for travel on Thursday morning and keeping an eye on local predictions for changes. People who live in places where snow is predicted should drive carefully and pay attention to how the roads are changing.
Thursday will see further rain, which will eventually stop by the evening. There won’t be any lingering snow or ice buildup because temperatures will stay above freezing.
