A fast moving low pressure system is bringing a wintry mix to New England on Monday afternoon and evening
Snow is developing rapidly in the hills of northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts and most of Vermont early this afternoon.
Snow will come down moderate to heavily for a couple of hours as it moves swiftly across New Hampshire and Maine through dinner time.
On a line from about Hartford, Connecticut, to Worcester, Massachusetts, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and points south, any snow should change quickly to rain. We may even have some gusty downpours in southeastern Massachusetts around sunset.
