Good afternoon everyone,
We are still looking at some weather concerns the next few days. See below and the attached images for more details.
New: Preliminary snowfall map included for Saturday afternoon into early Sunday
Strong winds continuing through early Friday morning:
What/Where: Northwest gusts up to 35 mph inland and 45 mph along the coast. A Wind Advisory is in effect for all of southern New England.
Impacts: Some tree damage with isolated power outages.
Cold Wind Chills Tonight into Friday Morning:
What/Where: Wind chills near zero across all of southern New England. A few spots across northwest Connecticut, central and western Massachusetts could see wind chills fall to 5 to 15 below zero.
Impacts: Prolonged exposure could lead to cold related health impacts.
Potential for accumulating snow Saturday afternoon/night:
What/Where/When:
- Plowable snow accumulations possible away from immediate south coast.
- Several inches possible across interior northern and NW MA where the highest totals are expected.
- Snow develops Saturday afternoon from west to east, likely changing to a wintry mix and eventually rain along the coast in the evening. Expect this mix/rain-snow line to advance north across the region during the night.
- Precipitation ending late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
- Potential for high snowfall rates Saturday evening.
Uncertainty:
- Timing of the changeover and how far north the mix/rain-snow line gets is uncertain and will impact specific totals.
- Moderate to high confidence in a period of accumulating snow but specific amounts uncertain.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
