Snow Squalls Likely During Tuesday Morning Commute

Much of eastern New England, including Wellesley, could be in for its first wallop of snow Tuesday morning.

An arctic front is forecasted to move through the area early Tuesday, bringing moderate to heavy snow squalls that could result in minor accumulation during the morning commute, National Weather Service said in an advisory issued Monday morning.

"This may create some slippery travel along with poor visibility during the Tuesday morning commute," National Weather Service said.

Precipitation is expected to begin between midnight and 5 a.m. Tuesday, with rain turning to snow. Rain should return 11 a.m. to noon, the forecast said. Temperatures should be around freezing early in the morning with a high of 42 degrees in the afternoon.

Temperatures are forecast to drop down to 20 degrees Tuesday night, which is expected to be clear, with wind gusting to 9 to 13 miles per hour.
