[Weather] [2026.02.18 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Possible Winter System Friday into Saturday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good Afternoon,

The Winter Weather Advisory for western MA has been canceled. Temperatures
are expected to remain above freezing into this evening, and snow is not
expected to begin to mix into the rain until much later tonight. A coating
of snow is possible, with the higher elevations seeing up to an inch.

Attached is a one-pager for possible snow impacts related to a winter
system Friday into Saturday. We have also attached graphics for the
probabilities of 2" and 4" of snow, along with 0.01" of ice accretion.

Thank you!

Meteorologists: Rob Megnia, Hayden Frank, and Emily McMinn
