Good morning everyone. While the rain/snow is ending in time for the morning rush hour, untreated roads will be snow covered and slippery across interior southern New England. In addition, temperatures falling below freezing along the Boston to Providence corridor may result in some black ice for the morning commute. Otherwise, the main focus will be for high impact snow squalls late this afternoon and early this evening followed by bitterly cold wind chills. Will highlight the main concerns in the email and also attach a few images. *High Impact Snow Squalls Between 3 and 7 PM This Evening Along With Brief Strong To Perhaps Damaging Wind Gusts:* - Scattered to numerous snow squalls cross western MA/northern CT between 3 and 5 pm and eastern MA/RI between 5 and 7 pm this evening. - Brief very heavy snow, near white-out conditions and strong to perhaps damaging wind gusts anticipated. Very hazardous travel for parts of the evening rush hour. - Snow Squalls last less than 30 minutes in most locations but drop a quick coating to 1.5 inches of snow. Very localized 2-3" amounts can not be ruled out in the heaviest squalls. - Brief 40 to 60 mph wind gusts possible with the heaviest snow squalls. Localized tree damage/isolated power outages possible. - High Wind Warnings posted for the Cape/Nantucket with Wind Advisories for most other locations in southern New England. *Bitterly Cold Wind Chills Later Tonight into Thursday Morning:* - Wind chills drop to between 10 and 25 below zero late tonight into Thursday morning and near 30 below zero across the Berkshires. - Wind Chill Advisories posted along and northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor with Wind Chill Warnings in the Berkshires. *Marine Headlines:* - Gale and Storm Warnings hoisted for 40 to 50 knot wind gusts later today and especially this evening. - Moderate to heavy freezing spray expected later tonight into Thursday night.
