Peabody Snow Emergency Parking Ban To Expire At Noon

PEABODY, MA — The Peabody snow emergency parking ban declared Monday night amid forecasts of up to six inches of snow from a late-winter storm was set to be rescinded as of noon.

In Greater Boston and coastal locations, daytime additional snow totals could range from 1 to 2 inches.

The forecast for Tuesday night calls for the possibility of rain between 11 p.m. and midnight, followed by patchy fog before 2 a.m. Low of around 30 degrees.

There's a slight chance of rain Wednesday with a high near 43.
