, still snow mix massachusetts, still snow mixing in north shore up to the seacoast. by 1:00 in the afternoon, we have the plain ol' rain reaching the north shore and the border with new hampshire. you go over the border and i still have ongoing concerns of icy patches all the way through the afternoon. up across southern new hampshire, to fitchburg and the worcester areas and into parts of the berkshires. the pink is kind of slow to fade. as the whole thing tapers off in time for the commute. in and around boston. we have drizzle and freezing drizzle areas northward. we are adding only choice amounts of ice on top of the snow in spots like boston, eastern massachusetts, but we could deal with up to 10th of an inch of ice on top of the snow in certain tral western mass and new hampshire. keep that in mind as we see rain on top of the snow it will wash a lot of it away turn into slush tomorrow. boston will be at 40. a little warmer to the south and cooler at the north. 45 with partly cloudy skies on wednesday. thursday, we have rain, just plain rain in the forecast and

this is not really a big event for eastern massachusetts. brief wintry mix there. morning, we focus in 495 n. and west. that's where temperatures will likely stay close to freezing. we will have sleet and raising rain. the line continues north towards midday. temperatures for many topping 40 degrees along the coast. what are we talking about in terms of snow? lot -- not a lot. a couple of inches, maybe four in northern massachusetts. the snow will get compacted by sleet and freezing rain, most likely in central massachusetts. all told, not a major storm, but is a wintry mix, a lot of ice, most of it around the morning drive. things will improve during the afternoon. we will talk more about the forecast and look forward to new year's eve shortly.>>> safe. >> reporter: weren't you hoping to see some flakes? not many people were. this and pio has been sitting here for months waiting to be spread. crews will finally begin treating the roads sometimes -- sometime after midnight. it won't exactly be backbreaking, but it will certainly be a nuisanc

even fitchburg and greenburg, massachusetts. and we have 4 to 6 inches of snow before we make that flip over to eventually some ice and wet weather, but this is where it is coming from. we have snow that starts in dallas, changes to rain and stretches all the way to essentially the midwest in the chicago area. toward us. this really truly is the calm before the storm with a little bit of cloud cover out there now. you are going to see a lot of sunshine. uniform temperatures in the upper 20s to lower 30s. boston at 34 degrees. forecast is it is pretty much going to go for areas like south shore, north shore, central mass, southern new hampshire. temperatures will be in this rain. lower 30s all day with partly sunny skies. not a hint of snow on radar until probably close to midnight tonight, so you can see even for the drive home from work, we have colder air that will impact us that will prevent much of a warm-up today and clouds rolling in, but barely got any snow even in western new york. it does arrive here around midnight, as

. >> shiri: western massachusetts, berkshires, see the pink on the screen, that is that direction but so far just clouds out toward worcester and fitchburg and the 20s and 30s boston at 39 , norwood at 32, look at freezing temperatures from northeastern massachusetts into southern new hampshire. so the plan right now is to warm above freezing as the rain moves in but i fear that in the next couple of hours we will get a sprinkle or two out toward worcester or fitchburg or keene and freeze up upon contact with the ground. so there's concern of a little bit of freezing drizzle. most should stay focused across western massachusetts, noon rolls around, temperatures upper 30s to lower 40s. this might be a little bit optimistic with the warm-up but the gist of it here expecting above freezing temperatures this afternoon as the rain turns heavier and steadier. so do be aware of couple icy spots far inland this morning but we got the rain that develops turns strongest during the evening hours, 40 to 46 for your highs today, timeline on how long rain remains steady. check on roads. >> julie: l
