Commuters can expect a slushy ride into Boston this morning, as rain turns to wet snow before turning back to rain, the National Weather Service said.

The storm is expected to begin in the early morning hours and end by 3 p.m., said National Weather Service forecaster Rebecca Gould.

Though only an inch of accumulation is expected for the Boston area, snow is expected north of the Mass Pike and Interstate 95. The heaviest snow will fall in some areas north of Route 2, where three to six inches accumulation is expected. Southern New Hampshire may get as much as eight inches of snow.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for 2 a.m. to 4 p.m., but the storm is expected to diminish after 2 p.m., said Gould.

Tomorrow’s high temperature will be in the mid-30s, almost 20 degrees cooler than the average temperature for March 28, Gould said.
