[Weather] Winter Weather Advisory Beginning Early Sunday AM Across Interior Southern New England

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone

A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for western and central MA, as
well as northern CT and into northwest RI early Sunday morning into
midday.  This is for 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet followed by a brief
period of light icing.  The expected onset time of the snow/sleet, along
with the  latest snowfall and ice accretion forecasts have been attached to
this email.

*WHAT/WHERE: *
- 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet expected near and northwest of the Boston
to Providence corridor. Greatest risk for the higher snow amounts will be
in western MA.
- A period of light freezing rain anticipated across  interior MA/CT and
into northwest RI.  Ice accretion amounts will be light, generally a trace
to no more than a tenth of an inch.

*WHEN:*
- Snow and sleet develop from west to east between 5 and 9 am Sunday
morning. A brief burst of heavy snow is possible which may result in roads
quickly becoming snow covered, especially in western/central MA into
northern CT.
- Precipitation will change to rain by Sunday afternoon along and southeast
of the Boston to Providence corridor.  Northwest of that region, a period
of light freezing rain is expected which should gradually change to all
rain by mid afternoon.

*IMPACTS:*
- Roads may quickly become snow covered Sunday morning with a brief burst
of moderate to heavy snow possible. This may also result in a period of
poor visibility.
- Conditions should improve in most locations by early Sunday afternoon,
but some icy spots may remain possible across the highest terrain of MA

*UNCERTAINTY:*
*- *Our current forecast calls for 1 to 3 inches of snow near and northwest
of the Boston to Providence corridor with the highest amounts likely in
western MA.
*- *If the change from snow to sleet is delayed, many locations may receive
2 to 4 inches of snow.  However, if the change to sleet is earlier then
expected most areas will receive an inch or less of accumulations.
- Regardless, snow and sleet will result in slippery travel Sunday morning
along with with reduced visibility.

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

Thank You
