Storm Coordination Message #1 – Late Sunday Evening 12/8/13-Monday 12/9/13 Wintry Mix Event
Hello to all..
..Wintry Mixed Precipitation timed prior to and during Monday Morning Commute could cause travel problems during this time period..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for Southern New Hampshire, Hartford County CT, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties from 11 PM Sunday Evening through 10 PM Monday Evening for 1-2 inches of snow and a trace of ice with isolated 2-4 inch snowfall amounts possible in Southern New Hampshire..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for North-Central and Northeast Connecticut, Providence, Kent and Washington Counties of Rhode Island and Southern Worcester, Western Norfolk and Central and Southeast Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts from 11 PM Sunday Evening through 1 PM Monday Afternoon for about an inch of snow and a trace of ice..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snow and ice totals and changeover in precipitation type reports during Monday Morning. The web based reporting form is now back in service..
Overnight tonight through midday Monday, a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain could cause slick travel conditions across much of interior Southern New England. There will be a brief period of snow and ice at the coast but that should quickly change over to rain so no Winter Weather Advisories are posted in this area. Across interior locations, much of interior Southeast Massachusetts, Rhode Island and North-Central and Northeast Connecticut should see a changeover to rain by around midday hence Winter Weather Advisories are in effect through 100 PM Monday. Across parts of Southern New Hampshire, Northern and Western Massachusetts and Northwest Connecticut, it is possible precipitation will remain snow and ice or only have a brief changeover to rain so advisories in this area are through 10 PM Monday Evening. Despite the storm being less than 24 hours away, there is greater uncertainty in this storm forecast and the areas of uncertainty include the timeframes of changeover of precipitation from snow to ice to rain, precipitation amounts of snow, ice and rain given the uncertainty of the timing of the changeover in precipitation types and how heavy the precipitation will be as current radar as of 700 PM shows the heavier precipitation sliding south of the area but steady precipitation should eventually build over Southern New England during the overnight hours.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snow and ice totals and changeover in precipitation type reports during Monday Morning. It is also noted that the web based reporting form is now back in service. This will be the only coordination message on this storm event unless a significant change/upgrade to the situation occurs.
