NWS Boston EM Briefing: Light Icing Expected Saturday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

Good afternoon everyone, The forecast remains on track for light icing across much of southern New England Saturday morning with the onset between 4 AM and 8 AM from west to east. The one change was to expand the Winter Weather Advisory to include metro Boston and northwest Rhode Island. In these areas, an hour or two of light freezing rain at the start could bring a brief period of light icing Saturday morning. For the entire Advisory area, we are still expecting light ice accumulations, no more than one tenth of an inch, with impacts solely on travel conditions and walkways. Outside of the Advisory area, plain rain is expected. Please see the attached one-page briefing and related images for more information. Note that the chances of icing remain highest in the Connecticut and Merrimack Valleys, but also can't be ruled out closer to Boston and in northern Rhode Island. The next briefing will be sent by 6 AM Saturday. Thanks, Joe Dellicarpini and Frank Nocera If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[12.20.2024 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Accumulating Snow Into This Evening
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Good morning everyone! We just wanted to let you know that we have increased snowfall totals into the 2-4" range for portions of central and eastern MA as well as much of Rhode Island. Therefore...we have issued a Winter Weather Advisory through tonight for much of this region including the Boston to Providence corridor. We do expect snow to expand in coverage through the afternoon and persist into the evening before things begin to wind down after midnight. Temperatures just southeast of the Boston to Providence corridor were above freezing allowing for some light rain. It will get colder later this afternoon and especially by this evening allowing for a change to snow. Untreated roads may become snow covered and slippery especially for the evening commute as temperatures drop. Attached is the graphic depicting our Winter Weather Advisory as well as our latest snowfall forecast.

[12.16.2024 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Light Icing for the Morning Commute
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Good morning everyone We just wanted to let you know that the Winter Weather Advisory has been extended further east to cover all of Connecticut except the immediate south coast. We also included Rhode Island in this Winter Weather Advisory through 11 am this morning. A mixture of light snow and light freezing rain/freezing drizzle may result in a light glaze of ice on untreated surfaces for the morning commute. Any snow amounts will be just a dusting to 1", but the main concern is the potential for a light glaze of ice. The area of concern includes the Hartford, to Springfield, to Providence Metro areas for the morning commute. Temperatures should rise above freezing by late morning or lunch time alleviating any issues. We have included a graphic of the Winter Weather Advisory below. Thank You! Meteorologist: Hayden Frank [image: Winter Weather Advisory Until 11 AM.png] If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

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!

[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.
