Winter weather advisory issued for areas of Middlesex, Worcester counties during morning commute – CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) – A warm front is rolling through southern New England, bringing rainfall for most of the area on Thursday. Some of the colder air in locations in the valley is hard to escape, so some towns to the north and west are reporting light snow and freezing rain.

Due to threatened light winter conditions, a Winter Weather Notice has been issued for northern Worcester County and northwest Middlesex County through 8 a.m. Thursday.
