[Weather] [2019.02.17 Briefing #3] Plow-able Snowfall Tonight & Monday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

The probability for accumulating snow continues to increase for tonight
into Monday. Here are the details including graphics regarding snowfall
projections (Most Likely, Low end & High end amounts including start
times), headlines and a model simulated radar loop beginning 10 pm tonight
thru 7 am Monday.

*What has changed:*
- Winter Storm Watches have been issued for the potential for 6+ inches of
snow across southeast Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island

- Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for expected snowfall of 2-4"
for much of MA along and south of the Turnpike including the Greater Boston
area and all of northern CT

*WHAT: *
- Plow-able snowfall expected

*WHERE: *
- All of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut

*WHEN: *
- Snow is expected to overspread the region from southwest to northeast
between 9 pm tonight and 1 am Monday
- The steadiest and heaviest snow will fall after midnight into Monday
morning.
- The focus for accumulating snow will likely shift to eastern MA by Monday
afternoon.  Snow should wind down from west to east later Monday afternoon
into early evening.

*POTENTIAL IMPACTS:*

- Roads will become snow covered/slippery along with reduced visibility for
the Monday morning commute (although more limited given the Holiday).
Highest snow totals will likely occur across southeast MA into RI where a
Winter Storm Watch is posted.
- Greatest risk for snow and slippery roads during the Monday
afternoon/early evening commute will be across eastern MA, where the ending
time will be the latest.

*UNCERTAINTY:*

- Latest forecast trends is for the risk for a moderate snowfall farther
north now into RI and southeast MA with 4 to 7 inches possible.  These
amounts may shift depending on the exact track of the low pressure system.
- A track farther south would translate to less snowfall while a a track
farther north would mean more snow north and west.
