Good afternoon everyone
Not too many changes from the previous thinking. We will attach images of our Winter Weather Headlines along with our latest snowfall forecast and included a brief outline below.
- Areas of light snow develop through 5 or 6 pm in western MA, resulting in slippery travel for part of the evening commute especially near the Berkshires.
- Light snow overspreads the rest of the region between 5 and 8 pm from west to east.
- Steadiest snow occurs between 10 pm and 4 am, but snowfall rates will generally be less than 1 inch per hour.
- Snow ends between 4 am and 7 am Thursday in most locations, but some light snow may linger through 9 or 10 am along the eastern MA coast.
- Snow Accumulations of
2-4” for many, but it is possible that areas from near Hartford CT to coastal RI only receive an inch or two. A heavier band of 3-6” of snow is possible roughly 20 miles north or south of the MA Turnpike. This includes the Berks as well as the Boston to Worcester metro areas.
- Although the snow will be over in most locales by the Thursday am rush hour, cold temperatures will result in some roads being snow covered/slippery for the morning commute.
- This will be a dry snow event even along the coast.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank You
