Good afternoon everyone, We continue to monitor two winter systems, one for early Friday, the other for the weekend. * Note that the single snowfall forecast attached to this email is for the Friday morning system only. The full set of briefing slides is for the weekend storm.* *Friday:* - Light snow begins between 1AM and 7AM Friday, impacting the commute for most of Southern New England. - Snowfall rates of less than 1 inch/hour are expected, with accumulations up to 3 inches across western MA, decreasing closer to the coastlines. (See attached snowfall map) - Snow changes to rain especially across the coastal plain of MA/RI during the afternoon. - Some untreated road surfaces may be covered. *Saturday night - Sunday night:* See the slides attached to this email. Heavy snow changing to an icy mix and then to rain, mainly across the southeast, is expected, along with a risk for strong winds, inland and coastal flooding. This storm is likely to be followed by a flash freeze beginning late day Sunday into Sunday night, with bitter cold air into Monday. Overall confidence is high for a moderate to high impact storm, but confidence in exact details and timing remains low at this time. We will continue to update into the weekend.
