Good afternoon,

Attached are two separate one-page briefings:

Regarding the snowfall forecast, our confidence has increased for higher snowfall amounts across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for northeastern Massachusetts, where as much as 4–8 inches of snow are possible. Elsewhere, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for central and eastern Massachusetts; widespread totals of 2–4 inches are expected, with 4–6 inches possible along and east of the I-95 corridor.

There have been no changes to the forecast for the extreme cold Saturday night into Sunday, in which we maintain high confidence.

We have also attached additional images showing minimum wind chill values, expected snowfall totals, and current advisories, watches, and warnings.

Thank you,

Torry Dooley and Frank Nocera
