Good morning everyone... A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through this afternoon for portions of north central and western Massachusetts...mainly the higher terrain. We still expect 2–4 inches of snow, with locally higher amounts up to 5 inches across the Berkshires through this afternoon. Snow was already impacting the region early this morning. We do expect a lull in the activity by mid to late morning with another round of snow by afternoon before winding down by early evening. We have attached our latest snowfall forecast through this afternoon. In addition...we have sent a new one-pager for the expected snow Sunday into Sunday night. Areas of light snow may develop Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon. We are currently thinking that the steadiest snow will be later Sunday afternoon and evening...especially across eastern MA and RI. We expect most of the travel impacts to occur late Sunday afternoon and night when the steadiest snow arrives and temperatures fall below freezing. Our preliminary snowfall forecast for Sunday into Sunday night is for an inch or two of snow possible across the interior with 2-4" possible across parts of eastern MA and RI. These amounts may need to be adjusted as a small shift in the track will make a difference in the outcome. If the track ends up on the northwest edge of the guidance...2-4" of snow would be possible across much of the interior with a swath of 3-6" across parts of RI/SE MA. If the track were to end up on the southeast edge of the guidance...snow accumulations would be a coating to 2 inches mainly confined to Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts. Attached is the snowfall forecast through the afternoon as well as what we expect for the second event Sunday into Sunday night. We have also included a new one-pager for the Sunday into Sunday night event. Thank You!
