Storm Coordination Message #1 – Sunday 12/16/12-Monday Morning 12/17/12 Storm Event
Hello to all..
..Several storm systems will affect Southern New England this week bringing some wintry precipitation, rainfall, possible minor coastal flooding and some strong winds to the region. Timeframes from these storms are Sunday Afternoon through Monday Morning, Monday Night into Wednesday and late Thursday into Friday. Coordination messages will be sent as warranted throughout this period for each of these storm events..
..The focus of this coordination message will be on the first storm system which will bring some wintry precipitation to Southern New Hampshire and Northwest and North-Central Massachusetts with rain elsewhere. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from Noon Sunday to 9 AM Monday for Southern New Hampshire, Franklin, Hampshire, Worcester, Northern Middlesex and Western Hampden Counties for 1-3″ of snow and up to one-tenth of an inch of icing..
..Some minor splashover of coastal locations may occur late Sunday Morning into early this afternoon during that high tide cycle..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will be utilized to monitor this first storm system from Sunday Afternoon to Monday Morning..
A storm system will track over Southern New England later today into Monday Morning. This storm system will bring mostly rain to Connecticut, Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts after a brief period of snow and sleet at the start of the event. Across Western and Central Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is expected and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for all of Southern New Hampshire and Franklin, Hampshire, Worcester, Western Hampden, and Northern Middlesex Counties for 1-3″ of snow and up to one-tenth inch of radial ice. This will be enough wintry precipitation for hazardous road conditions. Also, there is the possibility for some minor splashover along north and east facing coastal areas during the Sunday midday high tide cycle and a Coastal Hazard Message has been issued highlighting that potential minor splashover in those areas.
This week looks to be an active week of weather. A second storm system is expected Monday Night into Wednesday. This system looks to bring predominantly rain to the region with a brief wintry mix possible in Northwest Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Minor coastal flooding may occur at the time of high tide across some north and east facing locations. Strong winds possibly to Wind Advisory levels may occur as the storm departs the region later Tuesday Night and Wednesday. Another storm system may then affect the region late Thursday Night and Friday but its too early to get into the details regarding that system. Additional coordination messages for each of these storm systems will be sent out as conditions warrant and we get closer to each event.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will be utilized to monitor tonight’s storm system looking for snowfall and icing reports and changeover in precipitation type. This will be the only coordination message for the Sunday Afternoon into Monday Morning storm system unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Coastal Hazard Message for the Sunday midday high tide cycle:
