[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

We are still looking at some weather concerns the next few days. See below
and the attached images for more details.

New: Preliminary snowfall map included for Saturday afternoon into early
Sunday

*Strong winds continuing through early Friday morning:*

*What/Where:* Northwest gusts up to 35 mph inland and 45 mph along the
coast. A Wind Advisory is in effect for all of southern New England.
*Impacts:*  Some tree damage with isolated power outages.

*Cold Wind Chills Tonight into Friday Morning:*

*What/Where:* Wind chills near zero across all of southern New England. A
few spots across northwest Connecticut, central and western Massachusetts
could see wind chills fall to 5 to 15 below zero.
*Impacts:* Prolonged exposure could lead to cold related health impacts.

*Potential for accumulating snow Saturday afternoon/night:*

*What/Where/When:*

   - Plowable snow accumulations possible away from immediate south coast.
   - Several inches possible across interior northern and NW MA where the
   highest totals are expected.
   - Snow develops Saturday afternoon from west to east, likely changing to
   a wintry mix and eventually rain along the coast in the evening. Expect
   this mix/rain-snow line to advance north across the region during the
   night.
   - Precipitation ending late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
   - Potential for high snowfall rates Saturday evening.

*Uncertainty:*

   - Timing of the changeover and how far north the mix/rain-snow line gets
   is uncertain and will impact specific totals.
   - Moderate to high confidence in a period of accumulating snow but
   specific amounts uncertain.

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