[Weather] [01.03.2022 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Accumulating Snow across Cape Cod & Islands

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

The following headlines were issued overnight for accumulating snow this
afternoon & early evening, including minor coastal flooding -

   - A *Winter Storm Warning* for Nantucket - 4 to 7 inches of snow likely
   - A *Winter Weather Advisory* for Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard and Block
   Island - 2 to 5 inches of snow likely
   - A *Coastal Flood Advisory* for the entire eastern MA coastline, from
   the NH/MA border to Nantucket - for the late morning into midday high tide
   cycle.  Please see our coastal flood threat display here
   <https://www.weather.gov/box/coastal?sid=BOX&zoomLevel=8&centerLat=42.17358189832778&centerLng=-71.50177001953126>
for
   additional details
   - *What we know* - accumulating snow will overspread the Islands and
   Cape Cod this afternoon and early evening.  Heaviest snow with hourly rates
   of up to one inch are likely late this afternoon & early evening. Roads
   will become snow covered and slippery.
   - *What we don't know* - still some uncertainty on the exact northern
   extent of the accumulating snow. As of now, that line appears to be located
   somewhere along the immediate south coast.  However, a small shift in storm
   track will have a large impact on snowfall totals from south to north.
   Therefore, this forecast may need to be updated later this morning.
