[Weather] [2025.02.15 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Tonight Into Sunday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone

Here is the updated briefing on the Winter Storm that will impact the
region tonight and Sunday. We generally expect 3-7" of snow for most of
southern New England.  We did upgrade the Berkshires, Worcester Hills and
northern Massachusetts to Winter Storm Warnings. This is for a combination
of snow accumulations followed by freezing rain with a period of sleet in
between. The greatest concern is for the Worcester Hills and
Berkshires...where ice accretion between 0.15" and 0.35" followed by strong
winds Sunday night and Monday will exacerbate the power outage risk.

A High Wind Watch remains posted for all of southern New England Sunday
night and Monday. Westerly wind gusts of 45-65 mph are expected. Power
outages possible.

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

Thank You!

Meteorologists:

Hayden Frank, Kyle Pederson, Candice Hrencecin, Matt Belk, and Emily McMinn.
