[2023.03.02 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Potential for Impactful Winter Weather Friday evening and Saturday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Good Afternoon All, Please find the latest briefing, regarding the potential for accumulating snow Friday night into Saturday, attached. Note that confidence has increased regarding impacts north of the I-90 corridor, with the highest confidence in impactful accumulations of snow north of Route 2 where more than 6" of snow is forecast to fall. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for portions of Massachusetts north of I-90 and west of the I-495 corridors. Wind will also be of concern along the eastern MA coastline, where winds gusting between 40-50mph are likely on Saturday. While easterly winds will be strong, coastal flooding is not a concern as we will have low astronomical tides this weekend. Confidence in snow totals is lowest across the eastern MA coastline and south of I-90 as mixed precipitation such as sleet and rain will mix in after sunrise on Saturday. We would like to emphasize that the general timing of this system has not changed, with all impacts expected AFTER the Friday PM commute. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Kevin Cadima, Torry Gaucher, and Kristie Smith 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, Attached is an updated one page briefing and supporting graphics regarding the potential for impactful winter weather Friday evening into Saturday. Little has changed since yesterday's briefing. A bulleted summary of some of the changes is listed below. - Liquid precipitation forecast has increased and thus snowfall totals have increased slightly over the high terrain - Confidence is growing in the need for winter headlines for the interior zones along and north of the I-90 corridor. - Advisory and/or watch headlines may be issued as early as this afternoon. Additional information can be found in the attached one page briefing. Another briefing will be sent later this afternoon, if you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you and have a great day, Rob Megnia and Matt Belk 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 afternoon, Please find our latest update regarding the accumulating snow potential late Friday night-Saturday morning attached below. We would like to emphasize that precipitation is not expected to begin until AFTER the Friday Evening commute. Additionally, confidence in accumulating snow is highest north of the I-90 corridor, with the greatest risk for accumulations in excess of 6" most likely above 600ft in elevation north of the Rte 2 Corridor. Travel impacts are expected to be limited south of the MA Turnpike, as temperatures will remain near or above freezing overnight. Minor shifts in the exact track of the system will result in changes to the potential for accumulating snowfall. We also anticipate that winds in excess of 40 mph will affect the eastern MA coastline, with winds gusting over 50 mph possible, especially across the Cape and Islands. A gale watch is currently in place for the waters. Mariners should be aware that storm warnings may need to be considered for a large portion of Saturday. While we do not currently have winter weather headlines in place for this system, it is likely that they will be considered over the next 24 hours. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Good morning, We wanted to begin messaging for a potentially impactful winter storm that will impact the Northeast Friday afternoon into Saturday. Attached is a one page briefing with some details on where the forecast stands at this point in time. Confidence is growing that there will be at least minor impacts for the areas north of I-90. The attached graphic represents the percent chance of 24 hour snowfall exceeding 4 inches. We'll have more details over the next 24 hours as new data becomes available. Additionally, since we are sending this email we wanted to provide a heads up that there is also a chance for some spotty freezing rain showers tonight over the high terrain of The Worcester Hills and The Berkshires. Given the expected isolated/spotty nature of these showers, there is no winter weather advisory in effect for freezing rain. There will however be the potential for a few slick spots over these areas, but little to no impacts are expected.

Good morning everyone, Forecast confidence continues to increase for accumulating snow Monday night into Tuesday, with a plowable snowfall for most of the region. Also, confident snow begins *after* the Monday PM commute, along with the heaviest snow occurring late Monday evening and overnight. In addition, forecast confidence is highest for the heaviest snow to fall across western portions of MA/CT, where a winter storm watch has been posted. Forecast confidence is lower on the duration of the steadiest/heaviest snow, which may begin to lessen as early as the Tuesday morning commute. Accumulating snow remains likely Tuesday, but perhaps lighter snowfall rates than Monday night. Also, duration of the snow may be reduced across the coastal plain of RI and MA, as snow may mix with or change to rain Tuesday. Nonetheless, snow covered roads & low visibility Monday night into Tuesday will make for difficult travel, especially during the Tuesday morning commute. We hope to have more clarity on these details in later forecasts, so make sure to check back for updates.

[2023.02.25 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Winter Storm Monday Night - Tuesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Good afternoon everyone, Confidence continues to grow that we will see a winter storm bringing accumulating snow and potential for some wintry mix to southern New England Monday night into Tuesday. While there remains some uncertainty as to the storm's track and strength, a plowable amount of snow is looking likely for most, if not all of the region (see attached snowfall graphic). Timing has been honed in since the last briefing, now looking to begin late Monday night and end during the afternoon/early evening on Tuesday. This means the main impact to travel will be for the Tuesday morning commute; can't rule out precipitation sticking around through the evening commute, but it would be lighter and more scattered in nature. We do not anticipate any damaging winds or coastal flooding with this storm. If you have any questions, we can be reached via box.operations(a)noaa.gov or 508-622-3280.
