Good afternoon, all:
What Remains the Same:
- Winter Weather Advisory for the Berkshires, including the east slopes
- Snow and sleet accumulation before a transition to freezing rain, then rain
- A few inches of snow and sleet may accumulate before the transition to freezing rain and rain
- up to a few hundredths inch of ice accretion is possible
What Will Be Changing:
- Special Weather Statement will be issued for the threat of freezing rain
- Not as confident freezing rain will be widespread
- Risk of freezing rain across central and western Massachusetts, as well as northern Connecticut
- Especially at elevations of 1,000 ft or higher
- Up to a few hundredths inch of ice accretion is possible
A preliminary ice accumulation map is attached. Another update will be sent this afternoon if there are significant changes.
