Storm Coordination Message #1 – Monday Evening 12/29/25-Tuesday Night 12/30/25 Strong to Damaging Wind Potential

Hello to all…

..Icing has largely ended except for a few colder spots in Southern New England with areas of dense fog and reduced visibility reported. Any reports of icing using the method as described by NWS Gray Maine to measure ice that is also highlighted in SKYWARN training are welcome including pictures where possible. Damaging icing has been reported in Central New Hampshire, parts of Vermont and Maine this morning. Attention now turns to the strong to damaging wind potential for later Monday Night into Tuesday Night..
..A High Wind Watch is now in effect from Monday Evening through Tuesday Night for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH and gusts up to 60 MPH. Other areas could see wind gusts around or over 50 MPH outside the High Wind Watch area. These winds will cause scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages in the region..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for measured wind gusts 40 MPH or greater and wind damage reports tonight through Tuesday Night. Pictures and videos of wind damage and other storm related issues can be sent as a reply to this email, via our WX1BOX Facebook/X feeds or to the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated.

Storm Coordination Message #1 – Sunday Evening 12/28/25-Monday AM 12/29/25 Icing Event

Hello to all…

..Happy New Year to all Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters and many thanks to all for their support in the Friday Evening 12/26/25-Saturday Morning 12/27/25 winter storm. A snowfall map and Amateur Radio log from this winter storm appear below as links in this message..
..A storm system will bring the potential for icing in interior Southern New England particularly along and north of the Route 2 corridor and in the CT River Valley of Western Massachusetts though many interior areas will see some icing Sunday Evening into Monday Morning. If you must travel, use caution and allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination or travel before the ice arrives or after the freezing rain occurs which should occur in most if not all areas by mid-morning Monday..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 7 PM Sunday Evening to 6 AM Monday Morning for Northern Connecticut, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester, Middlesex, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk Counties of Massachusetts, Northwest Providence and Western Kent Counties of Rhode Island for a trace to 0.20″ of ice with isolated higher amounts of icing along and north of Route 2 and in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Mass with trace amounts of ice more likely at the coastline..
..The higher amounts of icing could cause isolated pockets of tree and power line damage and isolated power outages though current ice accumulations should preclude widespread icing damage. This aspect will be monitored closely..
..Areas outside of the Winter Weather Advisory will see mostly rain with a brief period of ice at the start of the event..
..As we get into Monday Night into Tuesday Morning another strong to damaging wind gust event will be possible for portions of Southern New England particularly higher terrain locations of interior Southern New England and at coastal locations..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for ice accretion reports any reports of significant icing and travel issues on area roadways and any icing damage from this event. For areas that receive mostly rain, will also monitor for rain gauge totals of 1″ or more. This will likely be the only coordination message on this storm event unless a significant update to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.

Hello to all…

..Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters..
..Today’s light snow event underproduced particularly in Western Mass but portions of North-Central and Northeast Mass have recorded up to 1″ of snow and may see another inch or two overnight. This will set the stage for strong wind gusts on Christmas Eve with the potential for ocean effect snow showers from the Cape Ann North Shore area to parts of Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts which could see a coating to 1″ of snow but if some heavier model solutions verify, it could result in 1-2″ of snow with isolated higher amounts..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect from 3 AM-12 PM Wednesday for Western Franklin, Western Hampshire and Western Hampden Counties of Massachusetts and from 7 AM-3 PM Wednesday for Cape Cod and the Islands for sustained winds 15-25 MPH and wind gusts 45-50 MPH. Areas outside of the Wind Advisory could see wind gusts of around 40 MPH. These winds could result in isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for strong wind gusts and snowfall totals in North-Central/Northeast Massachusetts with the snow that has been occurring this evening and then ocean effect snow showers from Cape Ann to Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts later Wednesday Morning into Wednesday Evening. This will be the only coordination message on this event unless a significant update to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.

Hello to all…

..Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters..
..A light snow event is expected Tuesday 12/23/25 which could cause some slippery roads and slower travel. Use caution and allow extra time to reach your travel destination. A general 1-3″ snowfall with isolated higher amounts of up to 4″ is likely across interior Southern New England north and west of I-95. The higher amounts will be over higher terrain interior locations with coastal locations likely going from snow to a mix to rain during this event with little snow accumulation at the coast..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall reports during this light snow event. This will likely be the only coordination message unless a significant change to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.
