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

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Attached are two separate one-page briefings:

   - The first focuses on the snowfall late tonight through Saturday evening
   - The second details the dangerous cold expected Saturday night into
   Sunday morning.

Regarding the snowfall forecast, our confidence has increased for higher
snowfall amounts across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A Winter
Storm Watch has been issued for northeastern Massachusetts, where as much
as 4–8 inches of snow are possible. Elsewhere, a Winter Weather Advisory is
in effect for central and eastern Massachusetts; widespread totals of 2–4
inches are expected, with 4–6 inches possible along and east of the I-95
corridor.

There have been no changes to the forecast for the extreme cold Saturday
night into Sunday, in which we maintain high confidence.

We have also attached additional images showing minimum wind chill values,
expected snowfall totals, and current advisories, watches, and warnings.

Thank you,

Torry Dooley and Frank Nocera
