Storm Coordination Message #2 – Wednesday January 16th, 2013 Storm Event
Hello to all..
..Light to Moderate Snowstorm still expected to affect the Wednesday Morning commute over much of Southern New England..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM to 8 AM Wednesday for Southern New Hampshire for 3-6 inches of snow..
..A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 1 AM to 4 PM Wednesday for Northern Connecticut and Northwest Providence County Rhode Island for 2-4″ of snow and a trace of ice. A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 4 AM to 7 PM Wednesday for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester, Western Essex, Northern and Central Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 3-5″ of snow and a trace of ice. The heaviest snow is likely to fall during the Wednesday Morning commute timeframe. Areas along and south of the Mass. Pike may see snow change over to a mix of snow, sleet and rain or possibly all rain late Wednesday Morning..
..Across the region from Boston to Providence south and east an inch or two of snow is possible before a change over to sleet and rain. Its noted that despite being less than 24 hours from the event, the area of heaviest snow and any areas that changeover to mixed precipitation or rain could still change based on storm track and amount of cold air over the region. This is especially true for the Boston-Providence area to the Cape Cod Canal where colder temperatures or a slightly further south storm track could cause higher snow amounts in this area. Cape Cod and the Islands will see mostly rain from this system..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation for snowfall totals and changeover of precipitation type is likely for this storm event starting around 600 AM through the morning hours. This will be the last coordination message on this storm event unless a significant upgrade or change to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Snow Total Forecast Map..
