Snow Squalls Could Make Tuesday Morning Commute Slippery

This post was written by Joseph Markman.

Much of the North Shore, including Hamilton and Wenham, could be in for its first dose of winter weather on Tuesday morning.

An Arctic front is forecast to move through the area early Tuesday, bringing moderate to heavy snow squalls that could result in minor accumulation during the morning commute, the 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," the weather service said.

Precipitation is expected to begin between midnight and 4 a.m. Tuesday, with rain turning to snow. Rain should return after 1 p.m., according to the weather service forecast. Temperatures should be around freezing early in the morning with a high of 41 degrees in the afternoon.
