[Weather] [2024.02.27 PM] Strong to Damaging Winds Likely Late Wed into Thu

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Attached is our latest weather briefing.

*What has changed:*

   - High Wind Warning in effect for Cape Cod and the islands
   - High Wind Watch has been expanded into northern Worcester county
   - Wind Advisory expanded into all of northern CT, including Hartford
   county
   - Wind Advisory expanded from southern Worcester, Middlesex & Essex
   counties

Two surges of very strong to damaging winds remain in the forecast. The
first surge will be Wednesday afternoon into early evening, with very
strong to damaging south winds.  The second surge of wind will occur later
Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, with strong to damaging northwest
winds. The long duration of south winds may enhance the wind damage
potential across Cape Cod and the islands.  Hence, the upgrade to a High
Wind Warning for those locations.

Heavy windswept rain will likely cause hazardous travel Wednesday night.
Rain briefly turns to snow, as temperatures crash into the 30s and 20s
behind the cold front Wednesday night. Any snow accumulations will be less
than an inch, except 1-2" possible in the Berkshires. However,  subfreezing
temperatures combined with any residual/leftover road moisture, may yield
slippery travel Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
