[Weather] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Storm Update & Potential Snow Squalls/Strong Winds on Sunday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning, the forecast remains on track with no significant changes.
The threat of coastal flooding, freshwater flooding on area rivers, strong
wind gusts at the coast, and dangerous marine conditions will persist
through this morning. Improvements are expected late morning and into early
afternoon, with rain clearing, tides receding, and winds easing. This
afternoon will remain blustery with a west/southwest wind and gusts of 20
to 30 mph.

Tomorrow, we anticipate that winds will continue to be blustery, possibly
approaching wind advisory criteria in the afternoon. We also want to bring
your attention to the possibility of snow squalls tomorrow afternoon
associated with a strong cold front. While there's some uncertainty about
the exact timing, it seems likely to occur in the early to mid-afternoon.
There is potential for roads to quickly become snow-covered, leading to
briefly near-zero visibility and hazardous travel. The greatest risk for
this will be across the interior due to colder temperatures. Along the
coastal plain, it may be mild enough for an initial mix with rain,
resulting in most roads initially being wet.

Thank you,

Torry Dooley, Matt Belk, and Joe DelliCarpini
