We expect this storm system to feature mainly snow for the interior and higher terrain, while lower elevations such as the coastal plain may feature a rain/snow mix before changing over to snow. Overall this event looks roughly similar to those winter weather events we've had to this point in the winter - where the higher snow accumulations are expected to have a significant elevational component. In lower elevations, snow amounts are more uncertain due to temperatures being more borderline.
We are still in the process of finalizing the forecast and details, but we are considering Winter Storm Watches for the Berkshires, along with portions of Worcester and Middlesex Counties where the best potential for snow amounts of 6 or more inches exists. With that said, some adverse impact to the Monday morning commute - even in lower elevations - looks reasonable.
There are no attached graphics with this e-mail, but expect a follow-up e-mail briefing out no later than 6 PM today.
Thank You!
