WORCESTER, Mass. — A winter weather advisory has been issued for parts of Massachusetts as a storm packing snow and rain approaches the region.

The advisory is in effect for parts of Franklin, Worcester, Middlesex, Hampden, Berkshire, and Hampshire counties from 7 p.m. Tuesday through 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Portions of central, eastern, and western Massachusetts could see snow accumulations of up to two inches, in addition to ice accumulations of a glaze to two tenths of an inch at or above elevations above 1,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.

In a statement, the NWS said, “Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning commute.”

Up to three inches of snow is possible for parts of the Berkshires, as well as Southern New Hampshire.
