Current winter alerts
(From the National Meteorological Service.)
The snow will move in the northeast Sunday night and Monday while it was gradually clearing in the Midwest. All the snow will have ended in the northeast on Monday night.
Most locations in the Midwest and Northeast will have light accumulations of 3 inches or less, but some localized areas may see larger amounts. The extreme southeast of New England is a place where higher snow totals could approach half a foot.
The snow can make Monday morning's trip difficult in the Boston area, although the good news is that Monday is a holiday, which can help limit the impacts in this area.
