[Weather] [02.06.2026 AM] NWS Boston/Norton EM Briefing for Dangerous Cold and Accumulating Snow

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Here is an updated briefing for the dangerously cold conditions Saturday
night into Sunday, and the expected snowfall from Friday night into
Saturday.

Changes since the last briefing.

   - Extreme Cold Watches were upgraded to Extreme Cold Warnings for
   Central and western MA and northern CT
   - Cold Weather Advisories were issued for the rest of southern New
   England
   - Snowfall was increased across southern New England for Saturday with
   the highest snow accumulation across eastern MA

We expect locally heavy snow bands to develop Saturday, especially
across eastern MA in the afternoon but the exact placement of these bands
is uncertain. Snow accumulation of 1 to 4 inches is expected across
southern New England, with the heaviest amounts in eastern MA where
localized accumulations up to 6 inches are possible. However, the axis of
heaviest snowfall is uncertain and may shift. Winter Weather Advisories
will likely be issued this afternoon for portions of southern New England.

Thank you.

Kevin Cadima and Candice Hrencecin
