A wintry mess is zeroing in on southern New England this evening. This system is sliding into the region with near and below freezing temperatures this afternoon and evening.
Overnight, temperatures will stay near to below freezing, depending on location. The best chance for ice accumulation is from central Massachusetts to southern New Hampshire. Parts of outer Route 2 and the Merrimack Valley will likely get slick.
All and all, ice accumulations will likely land near 0.10 inches for those who see ice, but localized spots up to 0.20 inches are possible. Issues on the roads and the chance for localized power outages around 0.25 inches, which will likely be the impacts of those who get near 0.20 inches of accumulation.
Most of the region is under a Winter Weather Advisory from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. Wednesday. This includes Boston and the Greater Boston area, as slippery travel is possible. Make sure you salt your walkways to avoid slipping on your way out the door on Wednesday morning.
Precipitation will change to rain with a light mix possible by mid-morning Wednesday and all but tapers off by Wednesday afternoon.
On the other side of this system, mild temperatures enter Thursday through Sunday, with highs in the 40s and nearing the 50s at times. That mild stretch will be paired with rain chances Friday, Saturday evening and early Sunday.
