by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Good afternoon, Following is an updated weather briefing regarding an accumulating snow and light icing event taking place late this afternoon into early Wednesday morning. *Changes Since Last Briefing: *Slight increase in snow amounts, which led to expansion of the Winter Weather Advisory into northern MA. Snow covered and slippery roads can be expected due to the combination of snow and a brief period of freezing drizzle. Overall minor impacts are expected given manageable snowfall rates, with precipitation ending by the pre-dawn hours Wednesday. Unless there are substantial changes which would warrant otherwise, expect this to be the final weather briefing for this event. Thank You!

09 Feb '26

Good afternoon everyone, A minor snow event will impact MA/RI and CT on Tuesday evening. Snow may end a brief period of freezing drizzle Tuesday night, possibly ending as rain along the south coast. Snowfall totals should range between a coating and two inches across CT/RI and southeast MA. Slightly higher totals of 1-3 inches are expected across northern MA, with isolated amounts of 4+ possible in northeast MA. However, confidence was not high enough at the moment to issue a winter weather advisory for 4+ inches of snow. The next email update will be issued late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Let us know if you have any questions. Frank Nocera, Emily McMinn, Francis Tarasiewicz and Kyle Pederson If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[02.07.2026 AM] NWS Boston/Norton EM Briefing for Dangerous Cold and Accumulating Snow
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 07 Feb '26

07 Feb '26

Good morning, Attached are two separate one-page briefings: - The first focuses on the dangerous cold tonight into Sunday morning - The second details snowfall today into this evening Changes since the last briefing: - Winter Storm Watch for Essex county was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning. There is not much change to the snowfall forecast with generally 3 to 6 inches for the advisory area across central and eastern MA into Rhode Island, with locally up to 8 inches in northeast MA. The biggest challenge is pinpointing where the heavier snow bands will set up. Confidence is moderate and the axis of heavy snowfall could still shift. There have been no changes to the forecast for the extreme cold tonight into Sunday, in which we maintain high confidence. We have also attached additional images showing minimum wind chill values, expected snowfall totals, and current advisories, watches, and warnings. Thank you, Kevin Cadima and Candice Hrencecin If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
