In the Northeast, sleet and freezing rain may occur, affecting driving conditions and possibly creating power outages.

A rather nasty-looking storm is due to get underway Saturday afternoon, with a mix of snow and ice in the Philly region before transitioning to a heavy rain, perhaps the most significant precipitation the region has received in several weeks.

A burst of snow from a winter storm is expected Saturday night, with the peak of the storm starting in the early hours of Sunday. The storm will shift over to rain by Sunday morning, creating a possible ice hazard across much of Massachusetts.
