[2019.02.20 PM Briefing] Wintry mix tonight into early Thursday Morning
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Good afternoon everyone. Light snow has pushed into SW Connecticut this afternoon, which will shift eastward this evening. Please read the details below. *What has changed:* - No changes to the previous e-mail. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect from 7 PM this evening until 7 AM Thursday. *WHAT: * - Minor snow and sleet accumulations followed by a period of freezing rain. *WHERE: * - All of southern New England. While most of the freezing rain will be confined to the interior, there will be a brief period of freezing rain along the immediate coast tonight. *WHEN:* - Snow will push across the Hartford/Springfield areas by 6 PM, which will impact the latter half of the evening commute. - In the Boston to Providence corridor, the snow will begin by about 7 to 8 PM. - Expect the snow to change to sleet then freezing rain from SW to NE between 9 PM and 1 AM. The change to rain along the coast and portions of northern RI and SE Massachusetts should occur between 3 AM and 6 AM. - Precipitation ends Thursday morning, but patchy freezing rain/drizzle may linger in the interior and impact the morning commute. Temperatures near and below freezing Thursday morning will result in slippery travel, mainly north and west of the Providence to Boston corridor. *POTENTIAL IMPACTS:* *- *Main concern: Icing on untreated roads and sidewalks tonight into the Thursday morning commute. - Ice accretion amounts should be no more than one tenth of an inch, so the risk for tree damage and power outages remains low. *UNCERTAINTY:* - Exact timing of the snow arrival may still shift by an hour or two either way, so there remains a low chance that it could impact the latter half of the Boston-Providence commute. - Freezing temperatures may linger during the morning commute across the Boston metro area, but it is much more likely northwest of Boston. Please let us know if you have an questions or concerns.

Wintry Mix Wednesday night into Thursday morning
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Good afternoon everyone, The last of the steady light snow will be exiting the region by late afternoon, but may linger a bit longer across eastern MA. The main issue for the afternoon commute will be for untreated slushy/wet roadways refreezing as temperatures drop. We also have included a brief outline on the likelihood of another wintry mix Wednesday night into Thursday morning. *WHAT: * - Minor snow and sleet accumulations followed by a period of freezing rain. *WHERE: * - All of southern New England and even the immediate coastline may see a period of freezing rain. *WHEN:* - Appears that snow/sleet will arrive after the Wednesday evening commute in the Boston to Providence corridor. However, there is some risk that is may catch part of the evening rush hour in the Hartford/Springfield metro areas. - While the steady precipitation will have come to an end by the Thursday morning commute. Areas of freezing drizzle with temperatures at or below freezing may result in slippery travel. The greatest risk for that is across portions of interior southern New England, but it is also a possibility even in the Boston metro area. *POTENTIAL IMPACTS:* *- *Main concern will be for untreated roads and walkways to be icy Wednesday night into the Thursday morning commute. - Ice accretion amounts look to remain generally under one quarter of an inch. Therefore. the risk for tree damage/power outages is rather low. *UNCERTAINTY:* - It is uncertain whether the snow and sleet impact part of the Wednesday evening commute in the Hartford-Springfield metro areas or hold off until after it is over. - Greatest risk for lingering freezing drizzle during the Thursday morning commute will be across interior southern New England. However, it is also possible in the Boston metro area. Please let us know if you have an questions or concerns.

Visibility will improve from earlier this morning along with hourly snowfall rates decreasing. *POTENTIAL IMPACTS:* - Snow covered roads along with reduced visibility will result in poor driving conditions (although a lighter morning commute given the holiday will help) particularly along and south of the MA turnpike into CT and RI . - Given the lighter snowfall rates later this morning and into the afternoon along with increasing visibility will result in improving driving conditions *UNCERTAINTY:* - Mixed wintry precipitation along the south coast this morning may drift northward into the Greater Providence to Plymouth corridor. This may hold down snow accumulations in this area - Low risk of patchy freezing drizzle southern RI/MA later this morning and afternoon - Confident that snow intensity will decrease between 6 am and 8 am from west to east this morning followed by lighter and more intermittent snow later this morning and afternoon - there is a low risk for a few moderate snow bands this afternoon that could briefly lower visibility along with roads becoming snow covered again.
