Good morning,
Below you will find this morning's one-page briefing and graphics on winter weather today and strong winds from late this afternoon into Sunday morning.
What has changed:
- Wind Advisory expanded into Hartford county Connecticut
Key Points:
- Rain changes to snow from northwest to southeast today, starting late in the morning near the Berkshires but not until later in the afternoon in Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts.
- Most of the accumulating snow will occur north and west of Hartford to Worcester, especially in the higher elevations. Initially, the snow may be heavy and wet when it changes over, but should transition to a lighter and fluffier snow this afternoon.
- For Hartford to Worcester, including surrounding towns, an inch or two of snow, along with a period of sleet/ice pellets, will result in slippery travel
- Strong northwest winds 40 to 50 mph late this afternoon into early Sunday, may result in minor wind damage such as some downed branches/tree limbs and wires. The strongest winds and any wind damage may be focused in western sections of MA/CT including the CT River Valley
