Wintry mix to snow could slick Boston-area commutes Thursday night into Friday

An incoming winter system for Thursday night into Friday will bring rain, then a wintry mix and snow across much of New England. The amount and type depend on how quickly cold air moves in and how heavy the precipitation is, with sleet possible near Worcester/Boston and notable travel impacts in eastern and northern Massachusetts. Snow totals may reach 2–4 inches in southern Vermont/NH and the Merrimack Valley; 1–2 inches in the Boston metro if changeover to snow is late, with less snow further south. Freezing rain could occur where surface temps hover near 32 F, while Southeastern Massachusetts faces 1–1.5 inches of rain on top of existing snow, risking localized flooding. Friday morning commutes look slick, and lingering freezing fog or drizzle could extend slick conditions. After the system, weekend looks calmer and milder with 40s–50s and a possible warm-up into the 60s next week.

Icy Start to Tuesday Morning Triggers Winter Weather Advisory

A two-part winter system moves overnight into Tuesday, bringing freezing rain and a risk of a light ice glaze (up to about 1/4 inch inland) that could slick untreated surfaces and affect the Tuesday morning commute. The Winter Weather Advisory covers counties west and north of Baltimore and Washington, with possible school disruptions depending on conditions. The freezing rain is expected 4–7 a.m. before temperatures rise and rain resumes later in the day; Monday’s snow has largely melted, though pockets of 1–3 inches were reported in some areas.

Houston Braces for Arctic Front: Rain Saturday, Frost Sunday

Space City Weather warns of an approaching Arctic front for the Houston area: expected Friday fog and mild highs, a chance of light showers, then a Saturday mid‑morning thunderstorm risk with around 0.5–1 inch of rain as a warm, moist air mass meets cooler air. Temperatures drop late Saturday into Sunday, with possible freezing temperatures and up to about 0.2 inch of ice accumulation in Montgomery County and parts northwest of Houston; roads may be icy on Sunday morning depending on surface temps. Sunday afternoon should see clearing but very cold conditions (20s–30s in urban Houston) with a dry Sunday night and a cold Monday (35–40 F). A gradual warm‑up is expected next week, though another Arctic push and even a slim snow chance are possible later in the week, per model variability.
