by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 02 Mar '22

Good afternoon, Attached is a one-page briefing packet regarding slippery travel conditions Thursday morning due to rain changing to a short period of steady light to moderate-intensity snow. Untreated surfaces may become icy. We expect the steadiest snows to fall between 3 and 6 AM, with temperatures at sub-freezing levels until late morning. Thus, the potential exists for slippery travel during the Thursday morning commute, especially where roads are not treated. Unless there are significant changes, this will be the final briefing on this weather scenario. Thank You!

[2022.02.25 1245 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Winter Storm Update
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

Good afternoon everyone, Just wanted to send out a quick update regarding the flash freeze potential across eastern MA and Rhode Island during the mid/late afternoon period. Current temps are in the upper teens and lower 20s across central and interior NE MA and this colder air will begin to move south across eastern MA and RI from north to south between 3 and 6 pm. Temps will quickly fall into and through the 20s resulting in a rapid freeze up and icy roads which will impact the evening commute. The colder air will be accompanied by a period of light snow with additional accumulation of a coating to 2 inches through this evening. We've attached a current temperature map and also a forecast temperature loop showing the timing of the colder air. Thanks.
