[Weather] [2023.02.23 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Icy Mix Tonight, Strong Winds Friday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Following is an update to the ongoing wintry mix event currently affecting
CT, RI and MA.

There has been little to no significant change to that which was briefed
this morning.

Winter Weather Advisories for the risk of icing, either through light
accretions of freezing drizzle/freezing rain or from freeze-up of standing
waters or slush, continue in effect tonight. In addition, Wind Advisories
continue for the Berkshires due to the risk of strong wind gusts up to 50
mph acting on ice-coated trees and powerlines.

Friday evening will also be quite cold, with sub-zero wind chills across
areas north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, and between 5 to 10 below zero
across the Berkshires.

Attached graphics include the additional amounts of icing anticipated this
evening, as well as the peak wind gusts for Friday.

Expect this to be *the final briefing* for this weather scenario, unless
there are significant changes to the forecast.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto and Rob Megnia
