[Weather] High Impact Snow Squalls Between 3 and 7 PM This Evening: Bitterly Cold Wind Chills Follow

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone.  While the rain/snow is ending in time for the
morning rush hour, untreated roads will be snow covered and slippery across
interior southern New England.  In addition, temperatures falling below
freezing along the Boston to Providence corridor may result in some black
ice for the morning commute.  Otherwise, the main focus will be for high
impact snow squalls late this afternoon and early this evening followed by
bitterly cold wind chills.  Will highlight the main concerns in the email
and also attach a few images.

*High Impact Snow Squalls Between 3 and 7 PM This Evening Along With Brief
Strong To Perhaps Damaging Wind Gusts:*

   squalls.  Localized tree damage/isolated power outages possible.
