[2024.02.28 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong to Damaging Winds Tonight into Thu AM
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Good afternoon, Attached is our final weather briefing for this event. Overall not much of a change in the forecast, but the Wind Advisory for Berkshire, western Franklin, western Hampshire and western Hampden counties has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning. Our second surge of strong to damaging winds occurs this evening from west to east as a cold front sweeps through. Winds rapidly shift to the west and northwest as the front slides through. Rain will briefly change over to snow as precipitation winds down and temperatures will be crashing. Snow accumulations will be limited to a coating to an inch, with an inch most likely across the higher elevations. There is a low risk for isolated icy spots, especially where minor accumulation occurs. The strong winds and rapid drying will dry out pavement before any freezing occurs in most spots. Please see the attached images for more detailed information. Thanks, Bill Leatham, Kevin Cadima, Kristie Smith and Hayden Frank If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Good morning, Attached is our latest weather briefing. *Headlines:* - High Wind Warning remains in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands - Wind Advisory remains in effect for the rest of MA, RI, and CT. This includes central and western MA, which was previously under a High Wind Watch. Two surges of very strong to damaging winds remain in the forecast. The first surge will be today lasting into early this evening, with strong to damaging south winds. The second surge of wind will occur this evening into tomorrow morning, with strong to damaging west to northwest winds. Winds remain gusty at 30-45 mph through tomorrow evening. Heavy windswept rain will likely cause hazardous travel tonight. Rain briefly turns to snow, as temperatures crash into the 30s and 20s behind the cold front tonight. Any snow accumulations will be light, generally less than an inch. Subfreezing temperatures combined with any residual/leftover road moisture, may yield slippery travel tonight into tomorrow morning on untreated surfaces.

Good afternoon, Attached is our latest weather briefing. *What has changed:* - High Wind Warning in effect for Cape Cod and the islands - High Wind Watch has been expanded into northern Worcester county - Wind Advisory expanded into all of northern CT, including Hartford county - Wind Advisory expanded from southern Worcester, Middlesex & Essex counties Two surges of very strong to damaging winds remain in the forecast. The first surge will be Wednesday afternoon into early evening, with very strong to damaging south winds. The second surge of wind will occur later Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, with strong to damaging northwest winds. The long duration of south winds may enhance the wind damage potential across Cape Cod and the islands. Hence, the upgrade to a High Wind Warning for those locations. Heavy windswept rain will likely cause hazardous travel Wednesday night. Rain briefly turns to snow, as temperatures crash into the 30s and 20s behind the cold front Wednesday night. Any snow accumulations will be less than an inch, except 1-2" possible in the Berkshires. However, subfreezing temperatures combined with any residual/leftover road moisture, may yield slippery travel Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Good afternoon everyone, Attached is our latest weather briefing for Wednesday into Thursday, when strong to possibly damaging winds impact the region. There will be two surges of wind, south winds Wednesday into Wednesday evening, followed by west winds later Wednesday night into Thursday. The strong west winds will be accompanied by rapid falling temperatures, with readings in the 50s Wednesday evening tumbling into the 20s in only a 1-2 hour time period. This combined with rain possibly ending as a brief period of snow along with any leftover road moisture freezing, may result in slippery travel.

Good morning, The latest forecast guidance overnight has once again shifted the system further south, prompting adjustments to our expected snowfall amounts. Notably, we have revised down our projections, particularly north of Massachusetts Turnpike. The areas most likely to receive 6 inches or more of snowfall remain southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the coastal areas of Connecticut. Heavy snowfall rates are still possible, potentially exceeding 1-2 inches per hour, primarily across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island between 9 am and 3 pm. We will diligently monitor any further developments throughout the morning and adjust the forecast accordingly. This will serve as our final briefing; however, should there be any significant changes going forward, we will issue a follow-up email promptly. Thank you for your attention to this update.
