by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Good morning, Please find attached an updated one page briefing and supporting graphics regarding expected snowfall Friday and Friday evening, sub-zero wind chill temperatures this weekend, and freezing spray potential across the coastal waters through Sunday. Since our initial briefing we have increased snow totals slightly over The South Shore and The Cape. We'd also like to emphasize to our marine partners that there is an increasing risk for moderate to heavy freezing spray Friday night through Saturday night and Freezing Spray Advisory headlines will likely be needed. Thank you and have a great day, Meteorologists Rob Megnia and Andrew Loconto If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Good afternoon, Please find attached a briefing regarding light snow accumulations Friday with frigid temperatures to follow this weekend. In general, 1-2" of snow is expected for much of the region, with higher amounts, of up to 4", across Plymouth and Barnstable counties in Massachusetts during the day and evening hours of Friday. Lesser amounts likely along the MA/NH border. Frigid temperatures will fill in behind the departing low pressure, allowing apparent temperatures to fall to near or below zero across southern New England both Friday and Saturday night. Actual high temperatures on Saturday will range between 15-25F. Overnight low temperatures will drop into the single digits and low 10s.

[2024.01.15 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Accumulating Snow Late Tonight-Tuesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Good afternoon, Here is the latest one pager briefing on the wintry weather expected late tonight into Tuesday across southern New England. We have also included separate images for Total Snow and Ice accumulations and a map of the winter weather advisory area. Winter Weather Advisories were issued for much of southern New England, except for SE MA and Cape/Islands. Snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches are expected in the advisory area, heaviest across interior northern MA, with 1 to 2 inches near the south coast. In addition, some icing is expected near and a bit west of the I-95 corridor as the snow changes to a period of sleet and freezing rain during Tuesday. The Tuesday morning commute will be impacted everywhere with snow covered roads. Snow covered and icy roads may impact the evening commute north and west of the I-95 corridor. Thank you.

[2024.01.15 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Accumulating Snow Tuesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Good morning, We are expecting light accumulating snow between midnight Tuesday and midnight Wednesday. A widespread 1-3 inches is likely north and west of the I-95 corridor, with localized areas of 4 inches possible. These higher totals are most likely across northwest and northeast MA. We do anticipate impacts to the Tuesday morning commute, and perhaps the Tuesday evening commute as well across RI and eastern MA. There remains a fair amount of uncertainty, even at this time range, and the forecast could change as we approach Tuesday. The main issue will be temperatures towards the coast, which may only marginally support snow for a time during the day Tuesday. In fact, the Cape and islands may even switch to plain rain. There is also a risk for some freezing rain along the south coast of New England. Winter Weather Advisories have been posted where the confidence in accumulating snowfall is greatest. Winter Weather Advisories may be expanded later today should confidence in either accumulating snowfall or icing increase. Attached is a snowfall graphic with our latest forecast snow totals.

NWS Boston EM Briefing: Gusty Winds and Potential Snow Squalls on Sunday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 13 Jan '24

13 Jan '24

Good afternoon everyone, We wanted to give a quick update on Sunday. We expect a breezy day with the strongest gusts (40-50 mph) for the islands where a Wind Advisory is in effect. A bigger potential impact is from scattered snow showers and even a few stronger snow squalls that will bring the potential for brief/rapid onset gusty winds/snow/low visibility. These would only be of concern for highways where rapid drop in visibility and a quick inch of snow could be hazardous to drivers. Timing of the snow will be 1 to 5 pm for western MA/CT and 3 to 8 pm for eastern MA. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Bryce Williams and Kevin Cadima If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

NWS Boston EM Briefing: Storm Update & Potential Snow Squalls/Strong Winds on Sunday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 13 Jan '24

13 Jan '24

Good morning, the forecast remains on track with no significant changes. The threat of coastal flooding, freshwater flooding on area rivers, strong wind gusts at the coast, and dangerous marine conditions will persist through this morning. Improvements are expected late morning and into early afternoon, with rain clearing, tides receding, and winds easing. This afternoon will remain blustery with a west/southwest wind and gusts of 20 to 30 mph. Tomorrow, we anticipate that winds will continue to be blustery, possibly approaching wind advisory criteria in the afternoon. We also want to bring your attention to the possibility of snow squalls tomorrow afternoon associated with a strong cold front. While there's some uncertainty about the exact timing, it seems likely to occur in the early to mid-afternoon. There is potential for roads to quickly become snow-covered, leading to briefly near-zero visibility and hazardous travel. The greatest risk for this will be across the interior due to colder temperatures. Along the coastal plain, it may be mild enough for an initial mix with rain, resulting in most roads initially being wet. Thank you, Torry Dooley, Matt Belk, and Joe DelliCarpini If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
