Storm Coordination Message #2 – Sunday Evening 1/5/14-Monday 1/6/14 Freezing Rain/Rain Event

Hello to all..

..Temperatures will warm as a storm system and cold front approaches from the west tonight into Monday. Cold air will be tough to dislodge over parts of the NWS Taunton coverage area bringing the threat of freezing rain/freezing drizzle to parts of the region..
..A Freezing Rain Advisory remains in effect for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Northern Worcester, Northern and Central Middlesex and Western Essex Counties of Massachusetts through Midnight Sunday. A Freezing Rain Advisory remains in effect for Southern New Hampshire through 5 AM Monday. A Freezing Rain Advisory is in effect for Northern Connecticut and all of Rhode Island except for Block Island through 7 PM this evening. A trace to a few hundredths of an inch of ice is expected for this area. This is likely to make for slippery road conditions but should not cause much tree or wire damage though this will be monitored. Slippery road conditions have been reported in some of the freezing rain advisory area where freezing drizzle has occurred..
..The freezing rain will change to rain in the advisory areas overnight from south to north. Rainfall amounts of 1″ or less could occur Sunday Night to Monday Night across much of the region with this storm. This should not cause any widespread flooding issues but a few urban/poor drainage flood issues are possible..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will continue to monitor this storm event. This will be the last coordination message on this system unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Freezing Rain Advisory Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook..
