[2019.11.21 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Potential Weather Hazards Friday, Saturday Night and Sunday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Good Afternoon, We want to provide a heads up on the potential for hazardous weather Friday, Saturday night and Sunday. Low pressure is expected to track over southern New England or just offshore. Depending on the exact track, which will not be known for another day or two, the following impacts are possible: *Afternoon CHANGE:* The Gale Watch from this morning has been converted to a Gale Warning. A Gale Warning is in effect for all waters for Friday through Saturday morning. All other hazard outlooks from the earlier e-mail continue without change. *Interior Light Icing:* *Locations*: Western and central Massachusetts, possibly portions of northern Connecticut. *Timing:* Wintry mix late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, changing to rain by afternoon. *Impact*: Slippery travel *Uncertainty:* Type of wintry precipitation and timing of the exact changeover. There could be little or no snow, and simply light freezing rain changing to rain during the morning, or a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain changing to rain. In either case, amounts should be light, on the order of up to one inch of snow and a light coating (up to 1/10") of ice. *Strong Winds:* *Locations*: Cape Cod and the Islands *Timing:* Late Friday afternoon and especially Friday night. *Sustained Wind:* W 25 to 35 mph. *Wind Gusts:* Up to 45 mph. *Impact*: Minor damage such as downed tree limbs. Perhaps Isolated power outages. *Uncertainty:* Winds may increase earlier in the afternoon, possibly as soon as 2 PM. *Marine Impacts:* *Locations*: Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters *Timing:* Friday afternoon and Friday night, before winds diminish Saturday morning *Wind Gusts:* W 35 to 40 knots. *Seas:* 4 to 7 feet on the inner bays and sounds; 10 to 15 ft offshore. *Impact:* Hazardous conditions for mariners. *Uncertainty:* Winds may increase to Gale force earlier in the afternoon, possibly as soon as 2 PM. *Minor Coastal Flooding:* *Locations*: Eastern Massachusetts coast and possibly the South Coast *Timing:* Monday morning high tide (5:41 AM at Providence, 8:45 AM at Boston, and 9:46 AM on Nantucket) *Storm Surge:* 1.0 to 1.5 feet *Inundation:* Less than 1 foot above ground level *Impact*: Some vulnerable shoreline roads may become temporarily impassable around high tide. *Uncertainty:* High. Timing of highest surge may not coincide with high tide, which would lead to little or no impact. Wind direction, which may favor either coast, will not be confidently known for a day or two. Minor coastal flooding would be the worst case scenario. Additional email briefings will be sent as needed. 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>

Good morning everyone, We are still expecting light ice accretions resulting in slick untreated roads for areas west and northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. Increasing northeast winds resulting in minor wind damage impact for Cape Cod and the Islands, and a period of minor coastal flooding for the afternoon high tide in eastern MA also remain expected. Wind and Coastal Flood Advisories were unchanged with this update. While the Winter Weather Advisory for light icing was unchanged - it was extended into the pre-dawn hours Tuesday for the eastern slopes of the Berkshires, as cold rain changes back to wet snow and sleet tonight with continued wintry weather impacts for these locations. *Changes from Sunday's briefings: * - *Winter Weather Advisory Extended In Time [*Now Ends 6 AM Tuesday]: For the eastern slopes of the Berkshires - western Franklin and western Hampshire Counties in MA. - Storm total ice amounts reduced, but similar impact anticipated. Details below: *Interior Light Icing:* *Locations*: West/northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. *Timing:* Spotty freezing drizzle and/or very light freezing rain developing around daybreak. Changeover to rain anticipated in most areas later in the morning. *Amounts*: Trace amounts to a couple hundredths of ice in the Winter Weather Advisory area - resulting in a light, thin glaze of ice. *Impact*: Slick roads impacting this morning's commute. *Confidence:* High. Coverage of freezing drizzle and light freezing rain will be spotty/patchy. *Changeover to Wet Snow Tonight:* *Locations*: Mainly the eastern slopes of the Berkshires, but also into the northern Worcester hills. *Timing:* Before midnight tonight into early Tuesday morning. *Amounts*: Up to an inch of combined snow/sleet accumulation, with additional trace ice amounts. *Impact*: Slick roads, mainly at elevation. *Confidence:* High. Any light freezing rain/freezing drizzle to be brief. *Strong Winds:* *Locations*: Dukes and Nantucket Counties into Block Island, and Cape Cod. *Timing:* 6 AM Monday through early Monday evening. *Sustained Wind:* NE 25 to 35 mph. *Wind Gusts:* NE 35 to 45 mph with a few gusts up to 50 mph possible. *Impact*: Minor damage such as downed tree limbs. Perhaps Isolated power outages. *Confidence:* High. *Marine Impacts:* *Locations*: Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters *Timing:* Tonight and Monday *Wind Gusts:* NE 35 to 45 kt. *Seas:* 4 to 9 ft on the inner bays and sounds; 13 to 17 ft offshore. *Confidence:* High. *Minor Coastal Flooding:* *Locations*: Eastern Massachusetts coast *Timing:* Monday afternoon high tide (3:10 PM at Boston and 4:17 PM on Nantucket) *Storm Surge:* 1.5 to 2.0 feet *Inundation:* Less than 1 foot above ground level *Impact*: Some vulnerable shoreline roads may become temporarily impassable around high tide.

NWS Boston 11/17 Afternoon Briefing: Coastal Storm Impacts Tonight Into Monday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

Good afternoon everyone, We did expand the winter weather advisory to include all of our area just to the northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. While some spotty freezing drizzle is possible this evening, there is a higher risk for pockets of light freezing rain/freezing drizzle after midnight and into Monday morning. Biggest concern is the Monday morning commute where untreated roads may be icy. Pockets of minor coastal flooding are still expected during the Monday afternoon high tide along the eastern MA coast, but impacts will just be some brief flooding of some typically vulnerable shoreline roads. Wind Advisories are also in effect for the Cape/Islands, but speeds will not be high enough to result in significant problems. *Changes From This Morning's Brieflings: * - *Winter Weather Advisory Expanded [*Tonight Into Monday Morning]: The Winter Weather Advisory has been expanded to also include interior northeast MA as well as southwest MA, northern CT and northwest RI. - *Wind Advisory Expanded [Early Monday Morning Into Early Monday Evening]:* Wind Advisory Expanded to Include Cape Cod Details below: *Interior Light Icing:* *Locations*: Western, central and interior northeast MA, as well as northern CT and northwest RI. *Timing:* Some spotty freezing drizzle is possible later this evening. Greater risk for pockets of light freezing rain/freezing drizzle after midnight and into the Monday morning commute. *Amounts*: Up to 1/10 inch of icing. *Impact*: Slippery travel, impacting Monday AM commute. *Confidence:* High. *Strong Winds:* *Locations*: Dukes and Nantucket Counties into Block Island, and Cape Cod. *Timing:* 6 AM Monday through early Monday evening. *Sustained Wind:* NE 25 to 35 mph. *Wind Gusts:* NE 35 to 45 mph with a few gusts up to 50 mph possible. *Impact*: Minor damage such as downed tree limbs. Perhaps Isolated power outages. *Confidence:* High. *Marine Impacts:* *Locations*: Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters *Timing:* Tonight and Monday *Wind Gusts:* NE 35 to 45 kt. *Seas:* 4 to 9 ft on the inner bays and sounds; 13 to 17 ft offshore. *Confidence:* High. *Minor Coastal Flooding:* *Locations*: Eastern Massachusetts coast *Timing:* Monday afternoon high tide (3:10 PM at Boston and 4:17 PM on Nantucket) *Storm Surge:* 1.5 to 2.0 feet *Inundation:* Less than 1 foot above ground level *Impact*: Some vulnerable shoreline roads may become temporarily impassable around high tide. Minor beach erosion is also possible. *Confidence:* High. It remains unlikely that the storm surge exceeds 2.0 feet so any impacts are expected to be minor. Updated storm total ice, maximum wind gust and maximum wave height graphics are attached, as well as an overview of issued hazards. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. This email will be updated early Monday morning.

NWS Boston: [2019/11/11] Afternoon Emergency Manager Briefing
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Good afternoon, Expectations for wintry weather have changed slightly Tuesday into Tuesday evening. The colder air is now thought to arrive more quickly, meaning a lesser risk for freezing rain. Our current forecast has rain briefly mixing with snow, before changing to snow, from west to east. The timing for this changeover to snow should be towards mid morning along and west of the Connecticut River in MA, to around noon in central MA and northeast CT, to mid afternoon along the I-95 corridor in MA and RI. Snowfall is expected to end along and west of the I-95 corridor in MA and RI by 6-7 PM. This means some light snow may impact the Tuesday afternoon commute across eastern MA and RI. Snow amounts are still expected to be light, generally a coating to an inch of snow is likely. Please see the attached snowfall map for more details. The other concern early this week will be the cold Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Slightly higher temperatures through the rest of this work week, but still below normal. Minimum wind chill values mainly 0-10 above zero across southern New England, ranging to 0 to 10 below zero across the higher terrain of the Berkshires and northwest CT.
