A warm up is on the way! After temperatures warm into the 40s on Saturday, many locations will reach into the 60s by early next week. pic.twitter.com/W0uzjp4rTU

Steady rain, ice & snow will taper off between 7-8 AM (with lingering drizzle/freezing drizzle in spots). Be VERY CAREFUL on the roads – @CatherineNews has a TON of accidents @boston25 pic.twitter.com/GyLgWRTd46

Snow and sleet creating a slow morning commute north of Boston this morning. Rain to some sleet near and just south of the Pike this morning. Some slick coatings with that. pic.twitter.com/x6FkaFj1He

SLIPPERY conditions N&W of Boston this morning as temps dropped with rain changing to ice and snow. Drying out with just areas of drizzle today but staying raw in the 30s. Warming up this weekend! #WCVB pic.twitter.com/NZdn2P78Rm

Go down after 8am as steady rain/sleet/freezing rain and snow move offshore. We are left with areas of drizzle at times into the afternoon under cloudy skies #WCVB pic.twitter.com/CP7vCV4P1K
NEXT 7 DAYS…

Areas of drizzle linger with clouds and a raw feel today- watch for black ice tonight as temps drop below freezing. A band of showers overnight Saturday into Sunday AM then skies brighten. 50s Sunday and 60s early next week will melt a lot of the snowpack #WCVB pic.twitter.com/qgbU1GUtbJ

Pretty hideous night ahead with a combo of sleet, freezing rain, snow, and regular rain. Best chance of 3"+ is in Essex County + SE NH. In central Mass it's a bunch of sleet and some freezing rain. Boston flipping between rain sleet and snow based on intensity. Mainly rain south. pic.twitter.com/YfSxP1QjgK
