Models are in agreement on another winter storm impacting the region Monday Night into Tuesday Night. The headlines reflect the current thinking and confidence is building on the scenrio. Snow is expected to start after 9 PM this evening from southwest to northeast and become heavy at times overnight into the Tuesday Morning commute with the Tuesday Morning commute being significantly impacted. Snow will mix with sleet, freezing rain and rain, in the Winter Weather Advisory area and the southern end of the Winter Storm Warning area but across areas north of the Mass. Pike and west of I-495, precipitation is expected to be all snow or snow and sleet/freezing rain. The key areas of uncertainty will be over the Metro Boston area concerning snowfall amounts and the timing of the mixture/changeover in precipitation over southern portions of the Winter Storm Warning/Winter Weather Advisory areas as that will impact snowfall amounts.
