[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

A wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is still forecast Sunday
through early Monday. Please see the attached images that highlight the
latest forecast thinking and possible trends.

*What / Where / When ...*

   - Wintry mix of snow / sleet / freezing rain across the N&W interior of
   MA & CT
      - Onset early Sunday morning
      - Will see a gradual transition towards the Berkshires and Worcester
      Hills Sunday into Sunday evening of the wintry mix to rain
      - Areas in and around the Berkshires and Worcester Hills may remain
      as a wintry mix throughout the event Sunday into Sunday evening
      - Minor snow / sleet accumulations of a coating up to around 1 to 2
      inches are forecast, as well as ice accretion of a trace up to a tenth of
      an inch
      - Wintry mix will make for travel impacts in regards to slick
      roadways and reductions to visibility


   - Transition back over to snow across mainly MA, especially E/NE MA
      - Sunday evening towards early Monday morning with the potential of
      impacting the Monday AM commute especially over E/NE MA including the
      Boston-metro area
      - Could be a quick burst of snow with minor accumulations of around 1
      to 2 inches
      - Again, travel impacts in regards to slick roadways and reductions
      to visibility

*Uncertainty ...*

Given a mixed precipitation event, there remains uncertainty with respect
to precip-types at specific times over particular areas, as well as
associated outcomes and impacts. We're forecasting the potential for
precip-types to change on an hourly basis.

There will likely be adjustments to later forecasts and the possibility of
the issuance of headlines, especially where freezing rain / ice accretion
is expected. Stay tuned for further emails. Should you have any questions,
comments and/or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at any
time.

Respectfully,

Benjamin Sipprell
