As snow accumulates, travel will be challenged. Drivers can expect slick roads, especially during this morning's commute. There will be some reprieve after the snow winds down tonight — just before another storm is slated to hit on Friday.

Snow is flying across the region Tuesday morning and will continue through much of the day before winding down from west to east sometime between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Thankfully, this is pretty much a straight-up snow event: no wind or coastal concerns this time around.The snow will fall at a rate up to 1 inch per hour Tuesday morning. This, combined with the accumulation overnight, means road conditions are impacted. AAA Northeast spokesman Mark Schieldrop said it is best that people stay off the roads if they can. And if they can't, to take it easy.

A late day rain shower Wednesday will linger into Thursday morning as another progressive disturbance moves through, so you may want the umbrella handy. It'll be mild again on Thursday afternoon with highs 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.The next storm will approach the region later on Friday. This many days out, it's too early to say with certainty how this event will unfold, but there is continued agreement that a burst of snow is likely as the precipitation moves in Friday evening.
