[Weather] [2023.02.24 am] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong Winds Friday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

A strong cold front will be moving through MA, CT & RI early this morning,
and accompanied by increasing northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts
up to 45 mph.  Tree limbs still covered in ice from recent freezing rain
(up to a 1/3 of an inch of ice accretion in northern CT Thu), may be more
susceptible to being downed by the strong winds.  Therefore, a wind
advisory has been issued for western & central MA, northern Connecticut and
all of RI.  Winds are not expected to be quite as strong across eastern MA.

Strong northwest winds begin to diminish after sunset Friday, with light
winds expected Saturday.

Torry Gaucher and Frank Nocera
