[Weather] [2023.03.01 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Potential for Impactful Winter Weather Friday afternoon and Saturday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Please find our latest update regarding the accumulating snow potential
late Friday night-Saturday morning attached below.

We would like to emphasize that precipitation is not expected to begin
until AFTER the Friday Evening commute.

Additionally, confidence in accumulating snow is highest north of the I-90
corridor, with the greatest risk for accumulations in excess of 6" most
likely above 600ft in elevation north of the Rte 2 Corridor. Travel impacts
are expected to be limited south of the MA Turnpike, as temperatures will
remain near or above freezing overnight. Minor shifts in the exact track of
the system will result in changes to the potential for accumulating
snowfall.

We also anticipate that winds in excess of 40 mph will affect the eastern
MA coastline, with winds gusting over 50 mph possible, especially across
the Cape and Islands. A gale watch is currently in place for the waters.
Mariners should be aware that storm warnings may need to be considered for
a large portion of Saturday.

While we do not currently have winter weather headlines in place for this
system, it is likely that they will be considered over the next 24 hours.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Kristie Smith, Bill Leatham, and Hayden Frank
