Good afternoon,

Please see the attached one-page briefing regarding the dangerously cold
conditions expected from Saturday night into Sunday. Wind chill values are
forecast to reach 15 to 30 degrees below zero, with wind gusts up to 40
mph. Due to these conditions, the Extreme Cold Watch has been expanded
across all of western and central Massachusetts, extending south into
northern Connecticut.

Additionally, minor snowfall is expected to begin late Friday night and
continue through Saturday evening. Most areas can expect accumulations
ranging from a coating to 2 inches, with totals of 2 to 3 inches possible
for eastern coastal areas. Parts of the outer Cape could see greater than 4
inches.

Thank you,

Meteorologists Torry Dooley & Caity Mensch
