After a largely dry weekend, Massachusetts is in for a wet start to the work week.
A round of precipitation moving in over the Bay State Monday morning will bring rain — and in some areas, snow — to much of the state. While the precipitation may come down as snow at first, warm air is expected to cause it to fall as rain by mid-morning for most parts of Massachusetts.
Higher elevations like the Berkshires could see the wintry conditions last a little longer, to about mid-afternoon. About an inch could accumulate there, National Weather Service forecasters say.
But for the rest of the state, any snow that does fall will likely only amount to a coating. Any accumulation is likely to be quickly washed away by rain.
The rain should end between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. as a swath of dry air moves west to east.
Monday night and Tuesday will be dry, with temperatures climbing to the mid to low 50s on Tuesday.
The next chance for precipitation comes Wednesday, though forecasters say Massachusetts should only see light rain for much of the day. Another round of showers drifts in Thursday night into Friday morning.
