RAIN/WIND/SNOW FORECAST:
This coastal low will bring the most rain for parts of the South Shore, Cape & the Islands. That will be the best chance to see 1″ of rain or more.
This same area will have the gusty winds between 5-10 AM — associated with the coastal storm.
A quick burst of snow is possible early Wednesday morning, giving some areas the chance to accumulate a slushy coating on grassy areas.
The 2″ is on the higher end and is for higher elevations (over 1,000 ft).
TIMELINE:
Expect wet roads for the Wednesday morning commute. Showers start shortly after midnight, with steady rain across the area at 2 AM.
The South Shore, Cape & the Island will have periods of heavy rain overnight.
There could be a quick changeover to wet snow in the Worcester Hills and parts of Southern New Hampshire around 4 AM.
Boston could also get a quick burst of snow, but we will only see it falling from the sky. It doesn’t look like it will stick- even on grassy areas.
Roads should stay wet and minor accumulation expected.
