A tricky storm Tuesday

The first in a line of storms will come up the coast, and the first is a hit in Southern New England. Precip will start Tuesday midday and continue through Wednesday morning. I am leaning towards a slushy inch or two of snow in the Boston to Providence corridor before the changeover, but more accumulation to the west. Then, it may flip back and forth between rain, sleet and snow Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in Boston, while it stays mainly snow NW of rte. 495. Then, we will have a break Wednesday afternoon through Thursday before we watch the next storm coming up the coast. 


Boston, MA forecast: 

Tonight: Clear, lows in the 20's.

Monday: Sunny with sea breeze. Highs near 40 at logan 43 in JP, and 48 west of 128. 

Monday night: Turning cloudy with lows in the mid to upper 20's.

11 AM: Snow arrives in Boston
