Good afternoon, Our next mixed winter precipitation event is expected during the early hours of Sunday morning through the afternoon. Details are below. *WHAT: * - Minor snow accumulations of a coating to 2 inches are possible with up to 3 inches in the Berkshires. This is followed by a period of sleet and freezing rain with ice accretion of a few hundredths, locally up to a tenth of an inch in the highest terrain. - GALE WATCHES have been issued for gusty winds picking up over the waters and along the coast. *WHEN/WHERE:* - Snow/sleet develops in most locations between 4 and 10 am Sunday. - Greatest risk for a few inches of snow will be near and north of the MA turnpike. This will be followed by a quick change to sleet and then rain along the coastal plain Sunday morning into the afternoon. A period of freezing rain/light ice accretion is possible during the transition across interior MA/northern CT before a change to rain in most locations. Bulk of the precipitation comes to an end by late Sunday evening. - Winds increase through the day and peak Sunday evening. *IMPACTS:* - Untreated roads/walkways may be slippery early Sunday morning into midday with the greatest risk across the interior high terrain. - Ice amounts are not expected to be high enough to result in any tree damage or power outage risk. - Most locations should rise above freezing by mid afternoon Sunday, but some areas across the interior high terrain of MA may still see temperatures hovering around freezing.
