Quick Shot Of Sleet & Freezing Rain This Evening Across Western & Central Mass

A fast moving frontal system is expected to push across the region This Evening bringing with it a round of freezing rain and sleet to the area for a few hours this evening. Current indications point to that precipitation in the form of freezing rain and sleet will overspread Western Mass by 7-8 pm this evening. Across Central Mass, it appears that freezing rain and sleet will begin by about 8-9 pm this evening. The freezing rain and sleet is expected to last for about 2 to 3 hours or so at any one location before it comes to an end and all precipitation will be done everywhere by midnight. Ice accumulations from the freezing rain and sleet will be very light. That said, even a very light accumulation of ice is still going to make things slippery this evening across the entire area. If you are out and about this evening, be sure to use extreme caution when traveling. That front moves to the east late tonight and Wednesday looks like it’ll feature plenty of sunshine with high temperatures near 45 Degrees.
