[Weather] [2022.03.10 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Mid-March Winter Storm

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,
We're monitoring the potential for an active first half of the upcoming
weekend as strengthening low-pressure system traverses across southern New
England. Below are our key messages.

   - Widespread moderate to heavy rainfall could lead to minor poor
   drainage and urban flooding on Saturday.
   - Rain is likely to transition to snow across far northwestern
   Massachusetts and Connecticut late Saturday morning through early Saturday
   afternoon. Icy and slick roadways are possible in areas that see
   accumulating snow and sub-freezing temperatures.
   - The strongest wind gusts Saturday night through late Sunday morning as
   northwest winds gust 30 to 40 mph. Strong gusts could produce minor tree
   and powerline damage.

Headlines: Winter Storm Watch in effect for northern Berkshire County in
Massachusetts from 1 AM March 12th to 1 AM March 13th.

Next briefing: 6 AM Friday.

Meteorologists Bryce Williams, Torry Gaucher, and Andrew Loconto
