Wintry blast expected to arrive Sunday

By John M. Guilfoil, Globe Correspondent

Bostonians will see a nasty Monday morning commute, with cold rain following on the heels of snow and sleet the night before, according to the National Weather Service.

A storm system is crossing the Great Plains and will swoop across the Great Lakes and hit New England late Sunday and early Monday morning. Another storm will also develop off Cape Cod and hit around the same time, forecasters said.

"That's going to mean for Boston, a chance of light snow by this time tomorrow," said Bill Simpson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Taunton. "We will see a changeover overnight as the ocean is still relatively warm. It will change from snow to sleet and gradually to rain Monday."

Other parts of New England can expect more snow, with more than six inches of snow predicted in southern New Hampshire.
