[Weather] [2019.02.06 PM NWS Briefing] Icing This Evening Through the Thursday AM Commute

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

A wintry mix of freezing rain with isolated sleet mixed in will develop
this evening between 5 and 9 pm, advancing from west to east. It will
continue through Thursday morning before transitioning to drizzle by
midday. *WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES* continue. Forecast ice amounts are
attached.

*Greatest concern *

   - Icing during the Thursday AM commute, especially across interior areas
   of Southern New England away from the immediate coast.
   - Untreated roads will become slick resulting in hazardous travel
   conditions.
   - Low risk of downed limbs due to the weight of ice with the potential
   for isolated power outages; best chance in the East Slopes of the
   Berkshires and the Worcester Hills.

*Uncertainty *

   - Highest confidence is in western and central Massachusetts and icing
   potential is low for southern Rhode Island and southeast coastal
   Massachusetts.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank You

Bryce Williams
