Storm Coordination Message #3 – WInter Storm Event late Monday Evening 3/18/13-Tuesday 3/19/13
Hello to all..
..Another Winter Storm on track to impact portions of Southern New England, particularly interior locations Monday Night into Tuesday Night. The Tuesday Morning commute is still likely to be significantly impacted..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 11 PM Monday Evening through Tuesday Night to Midnight Wednesday for Southern New Hampshire for snowfall totals now expected to be in the 12-16 inch range area wide with the possibility of slightly lesser amounts in the valleys and slightly higher amounts in the higher terrain..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 8 PM Tuesday Evening for Franklin, Western Hampshire, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 10-14 inches of snow and a trace of ice..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 8 PM Tuesday Evening for Central Middlesex, Western Essex, Western Hampden, Eastern Hampshire and Southern Worcester counties of Massachusetts for 8-12 inches of snow and a trace to one-tenth inch of ice..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 9 PM Monday Evening through 11 AM Tuesday Morning for Northern Connecticut, Northwest Providence County Rhode Island, Eastern Hampden, Southeast Middlesex and Western Norfolk Counties of Massachusetts for 4-8 inches of snow and a trace to one-tenth inch of ice..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect through 11 AM Tuesday Morning for the Metro Boston area for 4-7 inches of snow and a trace to one-tenth inch of ice and a Winter Storm Warning is also in effect for Eastern Essex County Massachusetts through 8 PM EDT for 6-10 inches of snow along with a trace to one-tenth inch of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through 11 AM Tuesday Morning for Southeast Providence, Kent and Washington Counties of Rhode Island, Eastern Norfolk, Western and Eastern Plymouth and Northern Bristol Counties of Massachusetts for 3-6 inches of snow and a trace of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect through 11 AM Tuesday Morning for Southern Bristol, Southern Plymouth and Barnstable Counties of Massachusetts and Bristol and Newport Counties Rhode Island for 2-4 inches of snow along with a trace of ice before a changeover to rain heavy at times..
..Areas outside of the Winter Storm Warning/Advisory areas will likely get 2 inches or less of snow before a changeover to rain with around 1″ of rain likely..
..Strong winds are possible along South Coastal Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands possibly extending into East Coastal Massachusetts but should remain below advisory levels with wind gusts up to 40 MPH possible. Astronomical tides will be low and with less wind, coastal flooding is not anticipated..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 5 AM Tuesday Morning lasting through early evening..
Models remain in agreement on another winter storm impacting the region Monday Night into Tuesday Night. The headlines reflect the current thinking and confidence remains fairly high for the scenario. Snow has started in portions of Western New England and will continue to spread from southwest to northeast and become heavy at times overnight into the Tuesday Morning commute with the Tuesday Morning commute being significantly impacted. Snow will mix with sleet, freezing rain and rain, in the Winter Weather Advisory area and the southern end of the Winter Storm Warning areas but across areas north of the Mass. Pike and west of I-495, precipitation is expected to be all snow or snow and sleet/freezing rain. The key areas of uncertainty remain over the Metro Boston area concerning snowfall amounts and the timing of the mixture/changeover in precipitation over southern portions of the Winter Storm Warning/Winter Weather Advisory areas as that will impact snowfall amounts. The scenario has trended a bit colder resulting in Winter Weather Advisories expanded all the way to Cape Cod and the Southeast Massachusetts and Southeast Rhode Island coastline with Winter Storm Warnings extended to the North Shore and Metro Boston area and slightly higher snowfall amounts for northern parts of the Winter Storm Warning areas.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence by 5 AM Tuesday Morning lasting through early evening. This will be the last coordination message on this storm event.
