[Weather] [02.07.2026 AM] NWS Boston/Norton EM Briefing for Dangerous Cold and Accumulating Snow

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Attached are two separate one-page briefings:

   - The first focuses on the dangerous cold tonight into Sunday morning
   - The second details snowfall today into this evening

Changes since the last briefing:

   - Winter Storm Watch for Essex county was upgraded to a Winter Storm
   Warning.


There is not much change to the snowfall forecast with generally 3 to 6
inches for the advisory area across central and eastern MA into Rhode
Island, with locally up to 8 inches in northeast MA.  The biggest challenge
is pinpointing where the heavier snow bands will set up. Confidence is
moderate and the axis of heavy snowfall could still shift.

There have been no changes to the forecast for the extreme cold tonight
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,

Kevin Cadima and Candice Hrencecin
