[Weather] Friday Morning NWS Boston EM Briefing: Wintry Weather Saturday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good Morning Everyone,

Attached is this morning's one-page briefing and graphics on wintry weather
Saturday and the possibility of strong northwest winds Saturday night into
Sunday.

*What Has Changed:*

   - Winter Storm Warning for northern Berkshire County
   - Winter Weather Advisory for the east slopes of the Berkshires and
   southern Berkshire County

*Key Points:*

   - Rain changes to snow from northwest to southeast Saturday, starting
   late in the morning near the Berkshires but not until later in the
   afternoon in Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts.
   - Most of the accumulating snow will occur in western portions of
   Connecticut and Massachusetts, especially in the higher elevations.
   Initially, the snow may be heavy and  wet when it changes over, but should
   transition to a lighter and fluffier snow Saturday afternoon.
   - Strong northwest winds are possible Saturday night into Sunday,
   especially near the coast and in the higher elevations, which could result
   in minor wind damage such as some downed branches/tree limbs and wires.
   Wind Advisories may be issued in later forecasts if confidence of gusts
   over 45 mph increases.
