[Weather] Freezing Drizzle/Light Freezing Rain Threat Northwest of Boston to Providence Into This Evening

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone

This is just a very brief outline concerning areas of freezing
drizzle/light freezing rain threat to the northwest of the Boston to
Providence corridor into this evening.  There also is the potential for
Wednesday morning snow, mainly across the interior high terrain along the
east slopes of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills.

*WHAT/WHERE/WHEN: *

   - Areas of freezing drizzle will remain possible through the afternoon
   to the northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor.


   - Steadier rain/freezing rain overspreads the region between 5 and 9 pm
   this evening. Greatest concern for freezing rain will be across portions of
   the CT River Valley, into central and northeast MA.


   - We will need to keep a close eye on northeast MA, especially Middlesex
   and Essex counties. Temperatures may temporarily rise above freezing, but
   fall back into the upper 20s to the lower 30s later this afternoon and
   evening, resulting in icy conditions developing.


   - *Untreated roads/walkways may already be or become icy to the
   northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. Evening rush hour may be
   impacted.*


   - There is a low risk that sub-freezing temperatures move back even into
   the Boston metro area for a time this evening, resulting in the development
   of icy conditions.


   - Lastly, there may be a burst of snow Wednesday morning across the
   higher terrain of MA with an impact to the am rush hour possible.  This
   would mainly be across the east slopes of the Berks and perhaps portions of
   the Worcester Hills.  We will have more on this later in the afternoon, but
   a few inches are possible especially along the east slopes of the Berks.


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

Thank You
