Good afternoon, Following is an update to the ongoing wintry mix event currently affecting CT, RI and MA. There has been little to no significant change to that which was briefed this morning. Winter Weather Advisories for the risk of icing, either through light accretions of freezing drizzle/freezing rain or from freeze-up of standing waters or slush, continue in effect tonight. In addition, Wind Advisories continue for the Berkshires due to the risk of strong wind gusts up to 50 mph acting on ice-coated trees and powerlines. Friday evening will also be quite cold, with sub-zero wind chills across areas north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, and between 5 to 10 below zero across the Berkshires. Attached graphics include the additional amounts of icing anticipated this evening, as well as the peak wind gusts for Friday. Expect this to be *the final briefing* for this weather scenario, unless there are significant changes to the forecast. Thank You!
