Good afternoon.

A Winter Weather Advisory continues for western and central MA, as well as northern CT and into northwest RI early Sunday morning into midday.  This is for 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet followed by a brief period of light icing.  The expected onset time of the snow/sleet, along with the  latest snowfall and ice accretion forecasts have been attached to this email.

- Most of the forecast continues unchanged.

- Time of snow onset is an hour later.

- Snow amounts were reduced a little, based on later start time compared to sunrise.

- 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet expected near and northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. Greatest risk for the higher snow amounts will be in western MA.  

- A period of light freezing rain anticipated across  interior MA/CT and into northwest RI.  Ice accretion amounts will be light, generally a trace to no more than a tenth of an inch.

- Snow and sleet develop from west to east between 5 and 10 am Sunday morning. A brief burst of heavy snow is possible which may result in roads quickly becoming snow covered, especially in western/central MA into northern CT.

- Precipitation will change to rain by Sunday afternoon along and southeast of the Boston to Providence corridor.  Northwest of that region, a period of light freezing rain is expected which should gradually change to all rain by mid afternoon.

- Roads may quickly become snow covered Sunday morning with a brief burst of moderate to heavy snow possible. This may also result in a period of poor visibility.

- Conditions should improve in most locations by early Sunday afternoon, but some icy spots may remain possible across the highest terrain of MA

- In areas that have the change to rain, roads with snow/ice-covered drains will have ponding of water with potential for hydroplaning or splashing of sidewalks.
