[2022.01.24 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Potential Winter Storm Late Week/Early Weekend
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Good afternoon, We wanted to let everyone know that we're tracking a potential winter storm that may impact the northeast US late this week/early this weekend. Details in timing and impacts are highly uncertain, but with the right storm track the potential exists for heavy snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding for portions of southern New England. We expect to have higher confidence in any potential impacts for southern New England over the next 36-48 hours when the track of the system will start to become more clear. Thank you, Rob Megnia, Kristie Smith, Bill Babcock, and Bill Leatham 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: 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

[2022.01.22 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Accumulating Ocean Effect Snow Showers Continue for South Shore & Cape Cod Thru This Afternoon
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

Good morning, Please find attached an updated one-page briefing packet and supporting graphics regarding continued snow accumulations in eastern Plymouth and into Barnstable Counties in Massachusetts. Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect until 4 PM this afternoon. There were no changes to the winter weather advisory from prior briefings. As was the case yesterday, snow amounts and conditions will vary considerably over short distances as these snow showers are narrow and will tend to oscillate. Ocean effect snow showers will be the most numerous this morning and primarily across Cape Ann, South Shore into Cape Cod. The greatest additional accumulations are expected over South Shore. However, minor snow accumulations this morning of a coating to one-half inch are possible as far west as Suffolk, Norfolk, western Plymouth & eastern Bristol Counties. Supporting graphics that are attached include forecast additional snow accumulations (on top of that which fell yesterday) and the Winter Weather Advisory area. Unless there are significant changes, *this will be the last briefing regarding this ocean effect snow event. * Thank You!

NWS Boston EM Briefing - update on ocean effect snowfall
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Good evening everyone, There have been no changes to the Winter Weather Advisories, which remain in effect for Barnstable and eastern Plymouth Counties until 4 PM Saturday. However, we have upped event totals to as much as local 6 to 8 inch amounts in eastern Plymouth County by Saturday afternoon (see attached map). Snowfall so far has been as high as 3 to 4 inches in spots. FYI, the criteria for a Winter Storm Warning is if an average of 8 inches falls in a 24 hour period. This is over a much longer period and those higher amounts are more localized, not common throughout the zone. So, that is why Advisories remain posted. -- Glenn Field and Kevin Cadima NWS - Boston/Norton 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: 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>
