[Weather] [2020.02.12 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing For Wintry Mix Late Tonight Into Thursday AM Commute

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone

No significant changes were made to the previous forecast.  We have
attached a few images showing the expected start time of the snow as well
as the accumulations.  An outline follows in the email below.

*WHAT/WHERE/WHEN:*
- Snow develops from west to east between 11 PM and 2 AM Thursday.
- Areas south of the Massachusetts Turnpike will change to mainly rain by
5-6 AM and to the New Hampshire border by 7-8 AM. A brief period of sleet
may occur during the transition.
- Pockets of light freezing rain may persist until 9 or 10 AM, but mainly
confined to the higher terrain of the  Worcester Hills and Berkshires.

*POTENTIAL IMPACTS/ACCUMULATIONS:*
*- *Snow will only last a few hours in most locations, but may fall
moderate to heavy for a very short time.  Therefore, roads may quickly
become snow covered along with reduced visibility.
- A quick 1 to 2 inches of snow are possible for most of the region away
from the south coast and Cape Cod. A swath of 2-5 inches of snow is
possible from near Route 2 in Massachusetts to the New Hampshire border.
-* The greatest impacts to the Thursday morning rush hour are expected
north of the Massachusetts Turnpike and especially north of Route 2.  There
is where snow will still be falling at 5 or 6 AM.  *
*- *Up to one tenth of  an inch of ice accretion will be possible mainly
across the higher elevations of the Worcester Hills and Berkshires.  Little
impact expected though on roads with temperatures near 32 and falling on
top of the earlier snow.

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

Thank You
