Winter weather advisory issued for most of Mass. ahead of messy mix

BOSTON (WHDH) - A winter weather advisory has been issued for the majority of Massachusetts as residents brace for an ice storm and messy mix.

Snow, sleet, and freezing rain will be spotty and light Monday with the messy mix becoming steadier in the evening and turning heavy at times overnight into Tuesday morning, according to 7NEWS Chief Meteorologist Jeremy Reiner

Northern Mass. and Southern New Hampshire could also see a coating to one inch of snow.

By the Tuesday morning commute, it’ll be plain rain along and inside Interstate 95 with some areas of freezing rain ongoing across Central Mass., Reiner added.

The winter weather advisory goes into effect at 7 p.m. Monday for all of Mass., excluding the South Coast, South Shore, Cape Cod, and the Islands.

It is slated to remain in effect until 7 a.m. Tuesday for parts of Middlesex, Essex, Norfolk, Bristol, Suffolk, and Plymouth counties; until 10 a.m. Tuesday for parts of Hampden and Hampshire counties; until 1 p.m. for Berkshire County; and until 6 p.m. for parts of Franklin, Worcester, Middlesex, Hampden, and Hampshire counties.

The freezing rain will create slick spots on the roadways.

Central and Western Mass. are at the highest risk for scattered tree damage and isolated power outages with .25 to .5 inches of ice projected to accumulate.
