Good afternoon, Attached is our one-pager briefing regarding the incoming snow for tonight through Saturday afternoon. We want to reiterate that this is primarily an interior northern and western Massachusetts event. You will also find a snowfall map and our current winter weather headlines. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 AM to 7 PM Saturday for portions of central and western Massachusetts, where our confidence in snowfall is greatest. We expect widespread accumulations of 2–4 inches, with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches across the Berkshires. We are confident there will be no impacts for eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as temperatures will remain warm enough for rain only. We continue to monitor a secondary, quick-hitting system for Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. While uncertainty remains, guidance is reaching better agreement regarding accumulating snowfall across parts of eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. More will become available in subsequent briefings. Thank you, Kevin Cadima, Caity Mensch, and Torry Dooley If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
