Highs will build to the upper 30s and low 40s for portions of Southern New England on Tuesday.Boston Globe
After a mostly dry day, our next storm system will arrive between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Tuesday. Originating out of the Midwest, this will also be a fast-moving, broken-up storm, like Monday’s system. But with the atmosphere warming while cold air stays locked at the surface for some areas, we’re going to see a range of precipitation across the region — snow, sleet, freezing rain, and all rain.
The forecast precipitation types across New England Tuesday night into Wednesday.Boston Globe
Boston to Providence, and everywhere east will see scattered rain showers, perhaps up to a half inch. Most of the rain will fall overnight with a few scattered showers hanging on through Wednesday morning.
Closer to Worcester and through Western Mass., there will be some wintry mixing going on with light sleet and freezing rain both possible before a changeover to all rain. Farther north, the central and northern portions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine will be the only regions to see snow with this storm.
Skies will be mostly cloudy on Tuesday until scattered precipitation pushes in later in the day.Boston Globe
With warm air spreading over colder air locked in at the surface, roads could turn slick from the light freezing rain. Patchy black ice to a glaze is possible in Greater Boston and along the northern end of I-495, as well as in areas along Route 2, the Berkshires, and from southern New Hampshire to Portland. It doesn’t take much ice to make roads and walkways dangerous, so be extra careful late tonight and if you start out early Wednesday morning.
Freezing rain could make for some slick roadways late Tuesday into Wednesday morning across portions of New England.Boston GlobeA winter weather advisory has been issued for much of New England from 7 p.m., Tuesday through Wednesday morning.Boston Globe
Not a whole lot of dramatic snow totals with this storm. Folks up north may see 1 to 3 inches, with a few higher elevations picking up 4 to 5 inches throughout the Green and White Mountains.

With temps in the upper 30s, Tuesday will end up as the coldest day of the week as our warming trend builds, thanks to a calming weather pattern that will drag some of the warm air from the west into our region.
Temperatures will continue to increase into the 40s as the week progresses, with the 50s coming into play on Friday.
