[Weather] [2025.12.30 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Snowfall New Year's PM Night into New Year's Day AM

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon, we’ve issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Nantucket and
Martha’s Vineyard, in effect Wednesday evening through early Thursday
morning.

This is not expected to be a major winter storm, but 2–4 inches of snow is
likely on the islands. Periods of steadier snow are possible overnight,
with the greatest concern between 1 AM and 6 AM, when brief heavier bursts
could reduce visibility and quickly create slick road conditions.

The timing is less than ideal, as this may coincide with New Year’s
celebrations wrapping up, increasing the risk for hazardous travel late
tomorrow tonight and early Thursday.

We've attached a snowfall map highlighting the expected snowfall amounts.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional support as
the event unfolds.

Meteorologists: Torry Dooley, Kevin Cadima, Candice Hrencecin, and Caitlyn
Mensch
