[2025.12.02 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Winter Storm Today into Tonight
Good morning, Please find attached an updated one-page briefing regarding the winter storm expected to impact the region Today and tonight. *What's Changed:* Snow totals have slightly changed since the last update, however, these were not significant changes. Confidence in the location of the heaviest snow and where the greatest impacts will be has continued to increase. *Timing:* No changes to timing from previous briefing. See attached graphics for more details. *Lingering Forecast Challenges:* Although overall forecast confidence in the storm’s amounts and impacts has increased, a few questions remain: 1. The northward extent of warmer air is contributing to some uncertainty in the exact position of the rain-snow line, which will dictate snow totals particularly in NE MA. 2. Moderate confidence in minor snow accumulation along the I-95 and part of the northern I-495 corridor this evening/tonight. Lower confidence exists in the exact timing for this snow. This ties back into the uncertainty in the location of the rain-snow line. This will be the final briefing for this event barring any significant changes.
