Snow Flurries Could Snarl Commute

The National Weather Service is warning the roads could be slick for tomorrow's commute, due to cold temperatures and snow showers.

CRANSTON, RI—A Special Weather Statement is in effect for Monday morning. The forecasters are calling for light but sticky snow, which could snarl the morning commute. The biggest impact will be away from the south coast. Also, the temperature predictions have been revised down. Highs around 42 had been expected Monday, but now the forecast calls for highs only in the 30s. Tuesday, the temperatures should make a rebound. Here is the latest.

"...Light snow may result in a slippery Monday morning rush hour
across southern New England...

"An area of light snow will overspread western MA and northern CT between midnight and 3 am...reaching eastern MA and RI by daybreak Monday. Snow will be light with accumulations of a coating to 1 inch. However, temperatures well below freezing will allow snow to stick immediately to roadways and impact the
morning rush hour. Motorists traveling Monday morning should be prepared for slippery travel and allow extra time to reach their destination. The light snow should pretty much come to an end by late morning...but may linger into the afternoon across northeast Massachusetts where some spotty freezing drizzle is also possible."
