A wintry mix is likely Monday evening with snow then mixing with light rain late Monday and into Tuesday morning.

The East End could see up to 2 inches more of the white stuff. Snow mixing with rain Monday evening and then turning to all rain Monday night will keep snow totals out east lower than other parts of the island.
