NWS Boston EM Briefing: Wintry Weather Saturday and Saturday Night
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Good Afternoon Everyone, Attached is the latest briefing on the potential for wintry weather Saturday and Saturday night. We are becoming more confident that this will be a minor event with mostly travel impacts. The current expectation is that Winter Weather Advisories could be issued sometime tomorrow. Since there is uncertainty as to how quickly the transition from snow to a wintry mix and eventually rain will occur, which will affect snowfall totals, we attached a map showing the probability of 2 inches or more of snow. Note that it is highest near the Vermont/New Hampshire border where we think as much as 4 inches of snow is possible. Also keep in mind much of the interior could see a light coating of ice during the transition (less than 0.10"). Our Winter Weather page <https://www.weather.gov/box/winter> contains the latest snow and ice forecasts, including probabilistic information. If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or at the following: Thanks, Joe DelliCarpini and Andrew Loconto National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>

Good Morning, There will be a chance for freezing rain this morning across the northern portions of Worcester and Middlesex counties.

Good morning, Attached is an updated one-page briefing regarding the potential for strong winds tomorrow into tomorrow night. We've also attached a graphic of the maximum wind gusts in MPH based on the latest forecast update. Since the last briefing we have raised a gale warning for the coastal waters that will go into effect at 7am Saturday morning. Confidence is increasing that we will need to raise wind headlines over land. This would likely happen in the next 12 to 24 hours as we iron out the fine details on the timing and areal extent of potentially damaging wind gusts. Expect our next briefing to you no later than 6 PM this afternoon Thank You!
