[12.15.2024 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Light Icing for the Monday AM Commute
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 15 Dec '24

15 Dec '24

Good morning everyone! We wanted to let you know we issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 1 AM to 11 AM Monday for southwest Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. A mixture of light snow and light freezing rain/freezing drizzle may result in an icy Monday morning commute including the Hartford to Springfield Metro area. Any snow accumulations will be quite light on the order of a dusting to 1", but areas of light freezing rain/freezing drizzle may result in a light glaze of ice on untreated roadways. Attached is a brief one-pager as well as an image of the Winter Weather Advisory and the ice accretion forecast. Thank You! Meteorologist: Hayden Frank If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[12.14.2024 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Low Chance for Freezing Rain During the Monday Morning Commute
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 14 Dec '24

14 Dec '24

Good afternoon, We just wanted to provide an early heads up email that there is a low risk for freezing rain during the Monday morning commute, mainly for areas west of Worcester. Confidence is low at this time with model probabilities only in the 5 to 25% range for a glazing of ice, but if confidence increases, a Winter Weather Advisory may be issued for these areas. We will provide an update on the forecast tomorrow morning, and if confidence in freezing rain during the Monday morning commute grows, we may provide a one page PDF briefing as well. For now, we've attached a single graphic that depicts the current model probabilities for ice accumulations greater than 0.01 inches. If you have any questions just give us a shout. Have a great rest of the weekend. Meteorologists Rob Megnia and Matt Belk If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

The Flood Watch was also expanded across the entire state of Connecticut, Rhode Island as well as central and portions of southeast Massachusetts. Attached is the latest one-page briefing along with several images depicting the Headlines in effect as well as the expected wind gusts and rainfall.

Good afternoon everyone... Spotty areas of freezing drizzle/black ice will be possible in the Worcester Hills into northeast Massachusetts, including the north shore this evening, with temps near or just below 32 degrees. Otherwise...listed below are the updates to the Wednesday and Wednesday night portion of the forecast in regards to heavy rain/flooding potential and strong to damaging wind gusts. We have also included the updated one-pager as well as some graphical images. 1) High Wind Watch has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning, given increased forecast confidence for strong to damaging winds across eastern MA & and southern RI Wed into Wed night, for southerly wind gusts of 50-60 mph likely. Forecast uncertainty includes, will these strong winds occur farther inland, northwest of the I-95 corridor? Later shifts will have to evaluate if the High Wind Warning needs to be expanded into northwest RI, the I-495 corridor of eastern MA, including metro west Boston. For the remainder of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, a wind advisory has been posted for southerly winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph at times Wednesday and Wednesday night. 2) Flood Watch continues for western MA and parts of northern CT. Widespread 2-3" or rain with localized 4" amounts possible. Some Mainstem River Flooding and localized urban flooding is possible, with heavy rain at times for both AM and PM Wednesday commutes.

Good afternoon everyone, There are no changes to the forecast regarding the potential for light icing across the higher elevations of the northern Berkshires and Worcester Hills. There may be pockets of light freezing rain and/or freezing drizzle this evening through Tuesday morning. A Winter Weather Advisory continues into Tuesday morning. In addition, an impactful storm will bring heavy rain and strong coastal winds to southern New England Wednesday into Wednesday night. The heavy rain may result in localized urban and poor drainage street flooding and strong winds may cause some power outages near the coast. A High Wind Watch is in effect for much of coastal southern New England. Please see the attached one pager and supporting graphics for more details. Thanks. Kevin Cadima and Rob Megnia If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[12.05.2024 AM] NWS Boston Briefing - Interior Snow and Gusty Winds Dec 5-6
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

Good morning everyone, Here is the final update for this storm system. We've attached a map showing the expected storm total snowfall with increased amounts over SE MA and central RI where snow has overcome marginal temperatures to accumulate early this morning. Confidence in snow amounts over the coastal plain is low to moderate as temperatures should be rising through the morning, but amounts up to an additional inch or so are most likely. The forecast for snow squalls and strong winds today has not changed. Thanks, Candice Hrencecin and Bryce Williams If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

04 Dec '24

Good afternoon, Attached are our latest one-page briefing, snowfall map, and updated headlines for the upcoming clipper system. Overall, the forecast remains consistent with only minor adjustments. We are expecting widespread snowfall amounts of 2–6 inches across western and central Massachusetts and the northern hills of Tolland and Litchfield Counties, while areas along and southeast of the I-95 corridor should remain all rain. A key forecast challenge remains determining whether rain transitions to snow northwest the I-95 corridor during the Thursday morning commute. Since this morning, we have expanded the Winter Weather Advisory into parts of Connecticut to include Tolland and Litchfield Counties, aligning with advisories issued by both our office and the Albany, NY office. Additionally, the Wind Advisory has been extended to cover all of northern Connecticut and western/central Massachusetts, primarily for the afternoon and evening hours on Thursday. As the widespread snowfall winds down mid-morning Thursday, our attention will shift to the potential for impactful snow squalls across interior southern New England leading to poor visibility and snow covered roads. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Hayden Frank and Torry Dooley If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
