[Weather] [2023.02.23 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Wintry Mix into Thu night

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Changes with this forecast update include -

   - A wind advisory for western MA, including the Berkshires - NW winds
   Friday with gusts up to 50 mph, combined with possible ice covered trees,
   will increase the risk for potential power outages (see attached Wind
   Advisory map)

Otherwise, winter weather advisories remain posted through Thursday night
for all of MA, RI & CT, except southern portions of RI and MA, where
temperatures will remain above freezing.

A wintry mix of precipitation across northern MA Thursday morning, with all
rain in CT, RI and southeast MA, will taper off to drizzle later this
morning and eventually areas of freezing drizzle this afternoon, as
temperatures drop below freezing. This will also result in a flash freeze
this afternoon and evening, as any standing water or slush freezes,
yielding icy travel, especially on untreated roadways and surfaces.
Another round of a wintry mix is expected later this evening and overnight,
finally giving way to dry weather Friday.

Attached is a loop showing hourly temperatures dropping this afternoon and
evening.  Also, a graphic is included showing the potential for additional
icing through tonight.

Torry Gaucher and Frank Nocera
