[Weather] Minor Snow/Ice Accumulations Very Late Saturday Night Into Sunday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone

Here is a brief outline on a wintry mix that is expected to impact the
region very late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon.  We have also
attached two images that indicate the potential for minor snow/ice
accumulations

*WHAT: *
- Minor snow accumulations of a coating to 2 inches possible with up to 3
inches in the Berkshires.  This will be followed by a period of sleet and
freezing rain with ice accretion of a few hundredths to perhaps up to two
tenths of an inch in the highest terrain.

*WHEN/WHERE:*
- Snow/sleet develops in most locations between 4 and 10 am Sunday.
- Greatest risk for an inch or two of snow will be near and north of the MA
turnpike. This will be followed by a quick change to sleet and then rain
along the coastal plain by Sunday afternoon.  A period of freezing
rain/light ice accretion is possible during the transition across
 interior MA/northern CT  before a change to rain in most locations.  Bulk
of the precipitation comes to an end by late Sunday afternoon.

*IMPACTS:*
- Untreated roads/walkways may slippery early Sunday morning into midday
with the greatest risk across the interior high terrain.
- A period of light ice accretion expected across portions of interior MA
and northern CT, but amounts are not expected to be high enough to result
in any tree damage or power outage risk.
- Most locations should see temps rise above freezing by mid afternoon
Sunday, but some areas across the interior high terrain of MA may still see
temperatures hovering freezing.

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

Thank You
