Andover will see an additional 1-3 inches of snow Tuesday after a winter storm rolled into eastern Massachusetts between 10 p.m. Monday and 1 a.m. this morning.

Weather officials are now warning the storm could impact both the morning and afternoon rush hours. Forecasters had originally hoped warming temperatures would turn the snow over to rain and limit the impact on the P.M. commute.

The heaviest snowfall is expected late Tuesday morning through the afternoon. As of Tuesday morning, snow was expected to continue off and on through the evening before ending around 10 p.m. and giving way to clearing skies.
