All right, hey, messy mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain this evening as well as overnight tonight. Then there is a break in the storm for several hours tomorrow including the morning commute which helps to get you off to work and school in New Hampshire hampshire. With rainy, windy conditions resuming toll evening, the second part of the storm is very warm. 50s tomorrow evening and behind the storm there is no arctic air air. Right now in the process of moving out the arctic air its a slow process. Shore lower 20s, worcester hills upper teens to around 20 degrees and really the cold air is all the way down the eastern seaboard wedged into the piedmont of north carolina. Atlanta at a151. Eventually the milder air does take hold even here in southern system right here. So this is what well pester us this evening and overnight tonight then there is a break for several hours tomorrow then system here. Now through the deep south with some showers downpours and perhaps even a few run bells of thunder possible in southern new england tomorrow evening. Unreal when you are going from ten below zero in just three nights later boom you talk about the risk of some isolated thunderstorm. But thats what is going to happen so we have patchy know around metro boston. This down here new york city, long island now into connecticut some steadier snow and so i think from about 8 00 or 9 00 tonight up until about midnight tonight three or four hour window that would be our chance of any accumulating snow and then after midnight tonight i think the chance is done of but not wintery precipitation so here we are noticing already overwhelming portion of southern new england even a bit of rain at the immediate coastline and then the snow has been shoved well up into New Hampshire. So at that time the accumulating snow is done then it will be focusing on the sleet and the freezing rain which i think will linger overnight tonight but as we work toward tomorrow morning if you have a morning commute im not anticipating any significant precipitation. Either liquid or frozen because again that break is coming tomorrow morning and for several hours through the day tomorrow its quiet with some pockets of drizzle around freezing e. Before the changeover to sleet and freezing rain. Some snow will accumulate including the city of boston then this all of this would be down on the ground by midnight tonight and for some of you around the metro and south shore it gets washed away during the i did tomorrow. Travel conditions again fir at best because we work later on to this evening and i do think there will be several hours of poor travel conditions around midnight tonight and through early tomorrow morning, especially away from the that warmer air trying to come in from the south shore tomorrow morning around the metro so fair conditions but the warm air will be tough to take old back through the worcester hills and even when the warm air gets there the ground is still going to be cold so allow extra time tomorrow morning, route 2 corridor, 495 north of the pike tomorrow morning and more so up across southern New Hampshire. Then through the day tomorrow just a lot of clouds until the second part of the storm shows up for tomorrow evenings commute. You notice this grown and yellow here again those are downpours and showers. Nothing frozen about that. Its mild tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures into the 50s. Still mild on wednesday and then seasonal weather for a change as we head toward thursday. So the amount of rainfall on the way again this will be tomorrow evening, most towns about a third of an inch or twothirds of an inch of rain on the way tomorrow night and then were back in the dry conditions still mild on wednesday, thursday mix of clouds and sunshine, much the same on friday.

Anchor right now teens and 20s, boston 22, worcester at 15 and something has to give. Eventually the arctic air does give way but its a slow process process. Weve seen patches of light snow around the metro on the south shore. Revealing itself though down rough connectit as well as metro new york city. And this will be the brunt of our wintery precipitation. Once this overspreads metro boston over the next one to two hours then as we approach midnight tonight, thats when well see the snow go over to sleet and then freezing rain but you notice as were showing you this time line its never really heavy precipitation. Its just light and patchy overnight tonight and through tomorrow morning. Also slowly warming late tonight and tomorrow morning. I do think though that the cold air is going to linger in the worcester hills as well as the 4 495 wore door before the changeover to sleet and freezing rain which again is by midnight. This is the amount of snow on the ground. Coating to an inch or less boston south shore, one to two inches of snow outside of 128. 495 route 2 corridor, southern New Hampshire plan on three inches of snow before the changeover and there will be left over patchy, freezing drizzle tomorrow morning on top of one to three inch of snow we get
