Scattered Snow Showers Expected The Rest Of This Afternoon & This Evening Across Western & Central Mass; Sunshine Returns On Tuesday

A trough of low pressure is expected to swing through the area during the rest of this afternoon.

Scattered snow showers can be expected across the entire area throughout the rest of this afternoon. This scattered snow shower activity is expected to persist into early this evening before it ends by around midnight or so tonight.

All in all, the snow shower activity should produce localized dustings of snow across the entire area with most of this occurring on grassy and other non pavement surfaces. Roads are expected to just be wet throughout the rest of this afternoon and this evening.

Once the snow showers end around midnight, skies are expected to become partly cloudy by well after midnight leading to temperatures to fall into the mid and upper 20s by very late tonight. This means that black ice could be an issue from the predawn hours of Tuesday morning right through just after sunrise Tuesday morning. So, be careful on area roads during the Tuesday morning commute & watch that first step going outside as decks, stairs, sidewalks and parking lots could be icy first thing Tuesday morning.

Temperatures will then rise in the middle 40s by Tuesday afternoon under partly sunny skies all day Tuesday.
