A wintry mix threatening to disrupt Monday morning's commute around Boston will precede yet another shot of cold air.
The cold from the weekend will set the stage for a storm to deliver a wintry mix to the Boston area on Monday.
A bit of snow will arrive Monday morning, leaving a quick coating to an inch before mixing with a brief period of sleet and freezing rain. Some untreated roads and sidewalks will turn slippery. Elevated surfaces, such as bridges and overpasses, are especially susceptible to icing.
Little, if any snow will occur south of Boston with any sleet or freezing rain occurring just at onset.
The wintry mix will change to plain rain in Metro Boston for Monday afternoon, but will linger longer and continue to cause travel hazards in the far northern and western suburbs. In these suburbs is where the snow and sleet can accumulate an inch or two.
However, AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Brian Thompson warned that motorists and those traveling by foot should not let their guard down when temperatures initially climb above freezing in and south of Boston.
"Even when temperatures rise above freezing to 33 or 34 F, some surfaces may still be icy given how cold it has been over the past several days."

The rain that follows for the rest of Monday could continue to keep travel slow, both on the ground and in the air.
Drier and colder air will work into the Boston area Monday night.
The cold following the storm will not be as brutal as what residents endured last week, but temperatures will still be held to the middle 20s on Tuesday. A brisk wind will hold AccuWeather.com RealFeel® Temperatures to the lower teens.
The chill will persist through midweek with temperatures remaining below freezing.
Less frigid days are then in store for later this week and next weekend.
