[Weather] [2019.12.26 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Light Wintry Mix Overnight into early Friday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

We wanted to provide awareness of slick and icy roadways from light
accretion of freezing rain and sleet overnight tonight to early Friday
afternoon. This may cause slick roads for the Friday morning commute.

Winter Weather Advisories *may* be needed in forthcoming updates if
coverage of freezing rain proves greater than spotty.

*Light Wintry Mix: *
*Locations:* Mainly near and north of the Massachusetts Turnpike.

*Timing*: Overnight Tonight into early Friday afternoon.

To better show approximate timing, a weather type image animation is
attached which shows the precipitation type transitions through time.
Individual images used to create the below GIF animation are also attached
to this e-mail for reference.

*Amounts*: Trace to up to a couple hundreths of ice, amounting to a light
glaze. Any sleet accumulation is negligible.

*Impact*: Roads may become slick, and lead to travel difficulties with
impact to the Friday morning commute.

*Confidence*: Moderate to high on precipitation types, closer to moderate
on expected ice accumulations. Though the area threatened by freezing rain
is fairly broad, freezing rain in any area may prove quite light and spotty
in nature. This is likely to significantly limit ice amounts and coverage.
