Commuters headed into Boston from the west or the north will likely see a messy commute Thursday morning as a mix of snow, sleet and rain lingers in parts of New England overnight into Thursday.
Precipitation moved across much of Massachusetts in the late afternoon Wednesday, first bringing rain to the Metro Boston area before changing to snow. While warmer temperatures didn’t allow much snow accumulation through the afternoon and early evening, lower temperatures later in the evening allowed some snow to pile up in some places.
Snow began to transition to sleet, rain and freezing rain across much of Massachusetts Wednesday night before more sleet, freezing rain and rain is expected to flare up early Thursday morning.
The wintery mix is expected to wind down around midday Thursday with light rain and snow flurries in some places.
The Metro Boston area is set to receive between a coating and an inch of snow when all is said and done. Parts of northern Worcester County, northwest Middlesex County and northern Essex County could see between one and three inches. Southern New Hampshire is likely to see three to six inches of snow.
A cold blast of air is forecast to sweep in behind current winter weather, dropping low temperatures into the single digits in some locations on Saturday.
