What Boston meteorologists are saying about the timing and impacts of Tuesday’s snow

Heads up: the evening commute may be difficult north of I-90, especially near and north of Route 2. Snow changes to rain south of I-90, with mainly snow north of Route 2. As mid-level centers close off, 1–2"/hr snowfall rates are possible during the PM commute #MAwx pic.twitter.com/3YJpPzDriV

Here's a breakdown of the timeline for today's wintry mix. The heart of the storm arrives this afternoon and early evening. #wcvb pic.twitter.com/o9Y0ZYaeg9

Good Tuesday morning! The storm is still to our west, so travel early this morning is fine. Snow/rain arrives 8-10 AM, turning heavy in the afternoon.

This will wrap-up around midnight tonight. #wcvb pic.twitter.com/tKTyl6wCDX

Here's my latest thinking on snow for Tuesday-wee hours Weds. Mostly rain in green. Could see some snow bands on back side of storm overnight Tuesday, so be aware of this in areas with mainly rain. Not surprised to see slick Weds AM travel as temps under 32F to start. pic.twitter.com/uO85xhCDk1

Heavy rain at the coast and heavy snow inland… Check out the latest details here & be patient on the roads this afternoon/evening. @boston25 #mawx #nhwx #newengland pic.twitter.com/GlnO6iaugh

What we're talking about at 11p –

Snowy interior/high elevations tomorrow, cold rain east

Snow accumulation closer to Boston would be at the *end* later tomorrow evening and relatively minor, but slick roads. #wbz pic.twitter.com/iVB6fGprKe

Hard to overcome the low level "warmth" during the storm tomorrow. We've seen this many times in the past couple of years. Higher terrain across SNE gets the most snow. Event starts 8-10a & ends 11p-1a tom. night. Gusty winds on Cape. pic.twitter.com/cpMorhWd5F

SHARP RAIN/SNOW LINE TO SET UP IN EASTERN MA!

Morning all! Snow & rain fills in late AM to midday for many (bit earlier in central/northern New England) with a very sharp rain/snow line likely somewhere right around 495.

6:45AM: A narrow band of snow (mixed with rain in RI) has developed along a weak wind shift boundary over the last hour. This small band of snow has been coating the ground along its path & is running ahead of the main snow shield. Towns/times of arrival in this radar image. pic.twitter.com/HqbjtkQDnD
