Snow Expected Monday Afternoon in Easton

It won't be much, but local forecasters are expecting another snow shower Monday afternoon in Easton and the rest of the Boston area.

"We've had plenty of cold, now we await the snow," wrote WHDH's Chris Lambert in his weather blog.  "It won't be a big storm, but the timing of it does not work in our favor.  Snow breaks out Monday afternoon in the timeframe of 2-4PM.  Perhaps an hour earlier in Worcester County.  The snow is light to moderate through sunset, allowing for snow to cover many roads by the evening commute."

Afternoon snow will give way to warmer temperatures, which will result in a wintery mix in Easton, according to the National Weather Service.

The warmer temperatures will remain in place for most of the week, according to Lambert.

"A few more showers along a warm front could run through Tuesday night, but it appears that warm front blasts north Wednesday morning," Lambert wrote.  "With a southerly wind taking over, temps warm into the mid to upper 50s.  Any breaks of sun allow for 60+.  A passing shower is possible Wednesday, but the higher chance for a soaking rain slides in Wednesday night with a cold front.  Behind the front, winter returns as we end the week cold."
