[Weather] [2019.02.17 Briefing #4] Updated Afternoon Briefing On Plow-able Snow Late Tonight Into Monday Afternoon

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone. We have included a brief outline in this email and
attached the latest snowfall forecast along with the approximate start and
end times.

*What has changed:*
- Winter Storm Warnings Issued for northern Rhode Island into portions of
southeast MA approaching the Cape Cod Canal.  4 to 7 inches of snow
expected.
- Winter Weather Advisories expanded to include the rest of southern New
England for a general 3 to 6 inches of snow.

*WHAT: *
- A plow-able snowfall is in store for the region.

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

*WHEN: *
- Snow is expected to overspread the region from southwest to northeast
between 9 pm and 2 am Monday morning.
- The heaviest snow will fall after midnight through about 9 am Monday
morning near and especially south of the Massachusetts turnpike.
- Lighter snows will continue later Monday morning and afternoon, but bands
of heavier snow will impact central and eastern Massachusetts at times.

*POTENTIAL IMPACTS:*
- Roads will become snow covered/slippery along with reduced visibility for
the Monday morning commute particularly near and especially south of the MA
turnpike (although more limited given the Holiday).
- Greatest risk for snow and slippery roads during the Monday
afternoon/early evening commute will be across central and  eastern MA,
where the ending time will be the latest.

*UNCERTAINTY:*
- High confidence in a general 3 to 7 inches of snow across the region.
Greatest risk for higher amounts will be across portions of RI into
southeast MA.
- If the low tracks further south amounts will be on the lower end of those
numbers, while  if it ends up a bit further north snow amounts will be on
the higher end.
- Snow amounts on the immediate south coast, Cape and Islands are subject
to change by a few inches dependent on how far north the rain/sleet line
gets into the region.

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

Thank You
