Storm Coordination Message #1 – Tuesday Evening 1/21/14-Wednesday 1/22/14 Winter Storm Event
Hello to all..
..Coastal Storm Currently Expected to Pass Close Enough to Southern New England to bring accumulating snow with significant snowfall possible in South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod and the Islands. Storm Track has higher than normal uncertainty..
..A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod and the Islands from Tuesday Afternoon through Wednesday Morning for 4-8 inches of snow. Other areas of Eastern New England, have the potential to see 2-4″ of snow. To the west, a dusting to 2 inches of snow is possible..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation to monitor for snowfall amounts is likely Tuesday Evening and Wednesday Morning especially in the Winter Storm Watch area..
Computer model runs still have some disparity so there is higher than normal uncertainty at this time range but are gradually converging on a solution that could potentially bring significant snowfall to South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod and the Islands. A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod and the Islands for Tuesday Afternoon through Wednesday Morning for 4-8 inches of snow. Across other areas of Eastern New England, there is the potential for 2-4 inches of snow. Lesser amounts of a Dusting to 2 inches are possible in northern and western parts of the NWS Taunton coverage area.
Computer Model runs over the last few cycles have trended slightly closer to the coast bringing the potential for heavy snowfall to South Coastal New England. A track closer to the coast can bring that heavier snowfall to South Coastal New England and points further inland. A track further away from the coast will mean lesser amounts inland and confining the significant snowfall to southeast New England.
SKYWARN Self-Activation to monitor for snowfall amounts is likely Tuesday Evening and Wednesday Morning especially in the Winter Storm Watch area. Another coordination message will be issued by 11 PM this evening. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Storm Watch Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Snowfall Map:
