[Weather] Update - with the new graphics

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Hi everyone,

(Attached are the new graphics).

Here is a quick update on the storm system affecting us tonight and New
Years Day.

Not much has changed from the previous thinking.  Rain has begun in
southwest CT already and it will overspread the region tonight '
with a widespread inch or so of rain expected.  Expecting it to start as a
brief period of mixed snow or freezing rain in the east slopes of the
Berkshires and northern Worcester hills before becoming all rain after
about midnight.  Temperatures as of 5 PM were in the mid 30s in
those areas.  A few slick spots are possible,  but only a trace to a few
hundredths of an inch of glaze are forecast, along with a coating to less
than an inch of snow.  A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for
those areas.

Much more importantly, strong to damaging winds are forecast for New Years
Day across the entire area.  West winds will gust to 40-60 mph
across the region.  If we had to pinpoint the potential strongest areas, it
would be from Worcester County into northeast MA, where we have
upgraded to a High Wind Warning. All other areas are in a Wind Advisory.

Happy New Year from NWS - Norton!
