Good morning everyone

A Winter Weather Advisory continues for western and central MA, as well as
northern CT and into northwest RI through 2 pm today.  The advisory has
been extended until 5 pm for the northern Worcester Hills and East Slopes
of the Berkshires.  Attached to this email is our expected snow and sleet
accumulations along with ice accretion forecast.

*WHAT/WHERE/WHEN: *
- A burst of snow and sleet overspread most of the region between 6 and 9
am.
- Snow and sleet accumulations of a coating to 2 inches are anticipated
with the higher amounts more likely across interior MA. There is a low risk
for a few 3 inch amounts in northwest MA.
- Snow and sleet will change to rain by afternoon in most locations, but a
period of light freezing rain is anticipated before the transition across
interior MA/CT and northwest RI.
- Light freezing rain may persist through late afternoon along the high
terrain of the east slopes of the Berkshires and northern Worcester Hills.
- Ice accretion should be a trace to up to one tenth of an inch with the
higher amounts expected in the northern Worcester Hills and the east slopes
of the Berkshires.

*IMPACTS:*
- Snow and sleet will result in roads becoming slippery for a few hours
this morning.
- Most roadways will just be wet by early this afternoon, although some icy
conditions may persist in the higher terrain of the Worcester Hills and
east slopes of the Berkshires.
