Rain, snow and cold temperatures will kick off the second week of April in Massachusetts, and some parts of the state could see up to an inch of snow.
The wet and wintry precipitation is expected to last all of Monday across the Commonwealth, according to forecasters from the National Weather Service.
Wet snow is predicted for the Berkshires and for the hills of Central Massachusetts on Monday morning, while rain will fall the eastern part of the state.
The Berkshires and parts of the state near the New Hampshire border have the best chance for up to an inch of accumulation.
Temperatures will hover at 32 degrees in Western Massachusetts and in the mid-30s for Central, forecasters said. It was 39 degrees in Boston on Monday morning.
While that snow could mix with the rain throughout the day in lower and eastern portions of the Commonwealth, no accumulation is expected, forecasters said.
The rain is expected to continue over the Cape and Islands into Monday night until it tapers off and a cold front comes through.
This will bring unseasonably cold weather late Monday night and into Tuesday morning, with strong wind gusts that will drag temperatures down in to the upper teens and 20s with the wind chill by the end of the day.
Sunshine is predicted to develop later in the day, but Tuesday morning could start off with brief rain and snow showers as temperatures hang in the 30s during the daytime, forecasters said.
