[Weather] [2025.12.29 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong to Damaging Wind Gusts Tonight Into Tuesday Night

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone...

A High Wind Watch has been issued for western and central Massachusetts
tonight into Tuesday night. An extended period of westerly wind gusts of 50
to 60 mph with the strongest of those winds favored across western and
central Massachusetts.  There still remains some uncertainty on the exact
magnitude of the winds...but additional Wind Advisories and/or High Wind
Warnings will likely be needed for much of southern New England. The other
issue will be Wind Chills dropping into the single digits and teens tonight
through Tuesday night.

Lastly...temperatures near freezing very early this morning northwest of
I-95 were still resulting in some icing on untreated roads and walkways.
Temperatures will continue to rise and the Winter Weather Advisory should
be allowed to expire on time at 6 am for the rest of interior southern New
England. A few of the typical low-lying spots may have localized icing last
into mid-morning...but again that threat would be very localized.

Attached is our new one-pager for the potential of strong to damaging wind
gusts tonight into Tuesday night. We also included the graphic showing the
current High Wind Watch for western and central Massachusetts as well as
the expected maximum wind gusts across southern New England.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Thank You!
