Good afternoon, we’ve issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, in effect Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning. This is not expected to be a major winter storm, but 2–4 inches of snow is likely on the islands. Periods of steadier snow are possible overnight, with the greatest concern between 1 AM and 6 AM, when brief heavier bursts could reduce visibility and quickly create slick road conditions. The timing is less than ideal, as this may coincide with New Year’s celebrations wrapping up, increasing the risk for hazardous travel late tomorrow tonight and early Thursday. We've attached a snowfall map highlighting the expected snowfall amounts. Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional support as the event unfolds. Meteorologists: Torry Dooley, Kevin Cadima, Candice Hrencecin, and Caitlyn Mensch If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
