May Nor'easter To Bring Rain, High-Elevation Snow To New England

The chilly rain that descended on the region Sunday will continue early this week as a May nor'easter sweeps into New England, bringing not just rain but possibly a bit of snow in higher elevations.

The National Weather Service forecast for the Boston area calls for rain off and on all week, with high temperatures in the low 50s Monday, upper 40s Tuesday and gradually warming later in the week.

The Weather Channel forecast for the region said a nor'easter would move in, with gusty winds along the coast from New Jersey to New England Monday and Tuesday.

The Weather Channel also said some snow might fall in the Berkshires and Worcester Hills, and that snow was reported in the Berkshires on Sunday morning, and one motorist tweeted a photo of snow falling on the Mass Pike near Blandford.
