Good afternoon everyone, The only real change with this afternoon's update is a Wind Advisory which has been issued for Cape Cod, the Islands, and portions of western/central MA for Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night (see attached). A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for south coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands for between 2 and 4 inches of snow overnight. See the attached expected Snow Accumulations/Winter Weather Headlines. *WHAT/WHERE:* - Winter Weather Advisory issued for 2 to 4 inches of snow overnight across south coastal MA as well as Cape Cod and the Islands. - Lower snowfall totals are anticipated further northwest, with a coating to 2 inches expected in the Boston to Providence corridor. *WHEN:* *- *The snow will begin after 10 or 11 pm tonight with the accumulating snow pretty much over by 5 am Wednesday morning. - The snow may begin as a period of rain across the outer-Cape/Nantucket, but will change over to snow. Snowfall rates may reach 1 inch per hour across far southeast New England for a short time overnight. - Threat for accumulating snow will have pretty much ended by the start of the Wednesday morning commute, but untreated roads may be snow covered and slippery. *UNCERTAINTY:* - High confidence that the heaviest snowfall will occur across far southeast New England, but exact snowfall amounts remain uncertain. - Current indications are for 2 to 4 inches of snow across south coastal MA, Cape Cod and the Islands. A coating to 2 inches of snow is expected further northwest into the Boston to Providence corridor. - If the storm tracks a bit further northwest, the low risk exists for 2 to 4 inches of snow further northwest across most of RI and most of SE MA with localized 5 inch amounts possible near the Cape Cod Canal - If the storm tracks a bit further to the southeast, any threat for accumulating snow would be confined to Cape Cod and the Islands and would be just an inch or two.
