Resending the briefing package to include the subject header. Good afternoon, Here is our latest thinking on the next phase of the winter storm. *Watches/Warnings/Advisories:* NEW: 1) *Winter Storm Warnings* expanded to include coastal Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Plymouth counties. 2) *Winter Weather Advisory* issued for Cape Cod 3) *Wind Storm Warnings converted to Advisories *for western and northern MA west of I-495 *What we expect:* *Tonight into Tuesday morning* - Rain changing to snow across eastern MA through this evening with changeover occurring on Cape Cod toward daybreak - Bands of heavy snow possible across much of eastern MA, especially from 4-10 am. Localized snowfall rates of 1-2"/hour possible - Significant impacts to morning commute across eastern MA *Strong Winds:* - Wind gusts to 40 mph expected along coastal areas, with the highest gusts over Cape Ann, outer Cape Cod, and the coastal waters off eastern MA. *Snow Accumulations:* - Additional accumulations after 7 pm tonight through Tuesday morning... - Generally 2-4 inches across much of the region, but up to 4-8 inches possible across eastern MA, especially from Boston north through Essex county and the Merrimack Valley. *Confidence* : - Moderate confidence in additional snowfall of 4 inches for eastern MA. Lower risk for up to 8 inches, especially north of Boston. - If storm tracks a bit further east than expected, lower snowfall amounts would be realized for eastern MA with max snowfall around 4 inches. - If storm tracks further west, 4-8 inches would impact a larger portion of eastern MA and possibly into northern RI, with locally higher amounts north of Boston. -- Kevin Cadima If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or at the following: National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>
