Hi everyone
This is just a quick heads up email on the potential for some light ice accretion Friday night in the high terrain. We will attach an approximate radar simulation, which depicts an approximate timing and precipitation types and also include a brief outline in this email.
WHAT/WHERE:
- Light freezing rain potential Friday night in the high terrain of the Worcester Hills and the east slopes of the Berkshires. Ice accretion of a trace to one tenth of an inch possible.
WHEN:
- Precipitation overspreads the region from west to east on Friday evening roughly between 5 and 9 pm. Rain is expected for most of the region, but some light freezing rain will be possible in the high terrain of the Worcester Hills and east slopes of the Berkshires.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS:
- Most ice accretion will occur on trees, but a few slippery spots are possible at elevations over 1000 feet and particularly near 1500 feet.
- Ice accretion amounts will not be high enough to result in any power outages.
- Precipitation will change to rain toward daybreak Saturday in all locations. Temperatures will rise well into the 50s to 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank You
