Wintry mix to hit the Boston area

By Sarah Gantz, Globe Correspondent

A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain will sweep through the Boston area today, but it will arrive just as the morning commute is finishing, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.

The storm is expected to begin at about 9 a.m. Winds will reach 13 to 22 miles per hour. But with a high for the day of 37, little or no snow accumulation is expected, said Rebecca Gould of the National Weather Service.

After 2 p.m. the storm is expected to turn into rain, she said.

The rain, expected to be heavy at times, may accumulate three quarters to an inch by the storm's end around 9 p.m., the weather service predicted.
