The first widespread snow of the season is coming to Massachusetts. A coastal storm will slide close enough on Tuesday to blanket much of the interior in snow, while the shoreline battles a chilly mix of rain and wet flakes.

Cold air will be just deep enough away from the ocean to support plowable snow, but coastal communities sit on the warm edge of the storm. With travel impacts possible, WBZ-TV has issued a Next Weather Alert.
