Boston, MA – Light snow is expected north of the Massachusetts Turnpike late Wednesday night before transitioning to rain Thursday morning. Higher elevations may see 1-3 inches of accumulation, though impacts on travel are expected to be minimal.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, the snow will be short-lived as temperatures rise. The change to rain is expected by the morning commute, reducing the risk of icy conditions. Lower elevations, including Boston, Providence, and Hartford, will see only rain.
Drivers traveling along I-90 and northern areas should be prepared for wet roads and limited visibility. Minor slushy accumulations are possible in hilly regions before precipitation shifts to rain.

Rain will continue throughout Thursday before tapering off by the evening. Temperatures will remain above freezing, reducing the likelihood of lingering snow or ice accumulation.
