NWS Boston EM Briefing: Impactful Storm Fri-Sat
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Good Afternoon Everyone, We are monitoring the potential for an impactful storm that could affect holiday travel Friday into Saturday. Please see the attached one-page briefing for details. Concerns include: - Damaging winds up to 60 MPH Friday from the south or southeast, and strong west/southwest winds up to 45 MPH on Saturday which could affect power restoration efforts. - Moderate coastal flooding along parts of both the east and south coasts during the Friday morning high tide. Moderate flooding refers to flooding 1 to 3 feet deep in more vulnerable locations which could require road closures. - Minor river flooding, especially along the mainstem Connecticut River. Minor flooding refers to flooding less than one foot deep, and is primarily confined to low lying areas. - Hazardous winds and seas for marine travel. Additionally, much colder air is expected to follow Saturday and Christmas Day with wind chills in the single numbers and teens. We will provide our next update Tuesday afternoon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or by phone at (508) 622-3280. Thanks, Joe Dellicarpini and Hayden Frank NWS Boston/Norton

[2022.12.19 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong Storm System Late This Week
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Good morning everyone, Given the holiday travel expected late this week, we wanted to provide an early heads up email about potential impacts to southern New England later this week. Here are the key points: 1. A period of strong to perhaps damaging southerly/southeasterly wind gusts depending on the strength of the system. 2. There could be a bit of snow/ice at the onset across the interior, but looks to be mainly a heavy rain event. 3. Very high astronomical tides in combination with strong winds may result in coastal flooding issues across south and east coast. Improving conditions should arrive Friday night into the holiday weekend. Another update with additional details or graphics may be sent by Monday afternoon or night. Thanks, Bill Leatham and Frank Nocera 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>

NWS Boston: Quick update for ongoing storm
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

All, We wanted to send you this quick update to primarily pass along that the event is following along fairly closely to our previous forecasts. The highest snow accumulations have been primarily across the higher elevations, especially above 1000-1500 feet. That snow will continue this evening into the early overnight hours. We have added the far northwest corner of Middlesex County MA to our Winter Weather Advisory since the highest elevation towns (Ashby and Townsend) will see several inches of snow this evening. Rain will continue elsewhere. Winds will be diminishing this evening. As the storm winds down well after midnight and during Saturday morning, a brief period of light snow is expected even at lower elevations, however no significant accumulation is expected. Attached to this email is a forecast map for what we expect for additional snowfall amounts from this afternoon through early Saturday afternoon. Again, the biggest accumulations will be restricted to the highest elevation locations. If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address. Thank You, Andy Nash, Torry Gaucher, Andrew Loconto

Good afternoon, There are no significant changes since the last briefing. A high impact winter storm is expected for elevations above 1000 ft in Massachusetts and Connecticut, late tonight and continuing Friday/Friday night, before tapering off early Saturday morning. Snowfall amounts will be highly dependent on elevation and the biggest concern is snow load issues and possible power outages. A full briefing slide deck is attached.

[12.14.2022 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Wet Snow Possible High Terrain MA/CT
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Good afternoon: A very complicated snowfall forecast across southern New England this afternoon. Significant precipitation is expected, some of which will be in the form of heavy, wet snow. Snow accumulations will be very elevation-dependent. This will mean sharp gradients between those that receive snowfall, and those that are mostly rain. With such marginal temperatures to support snowfall in the lower levels of the atmosphere, a small change to the temperatures could mean a large difference in snowfall. We will continue to monitor trends closely through this event. Also attached is a map with the latest winter weather headlines in effect. Meteorologists Matthew Belk and Bryce Williams 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>
