Storm Coordination Message #1 – Late Wednesday Night 2/18/15-Thursday Morning 2/19/15 Light to Moderate Snowstorm Event

Hello to all..

..Accumulating snowfall to the North Shore of Massachusetts overnight into Thursday Morning..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Essex County Massachusetts from 7 PM Tonight through 11 AM Thursday Morning for 3-5″ of snow. Across the rest of the NWS Taunton Coverage area, 1-3″ of snow is expected with most of the 3″ amounts by Southeast Coastal Massachusetts and Cape Cod. There is a bit of uncertainty in the forecast in that if the costal low track is a bit closer, some advisory level snow totals could affect other portions of Eastern New England. If the low track is further offshore, less snowfall will occur..
..The Late Saturday into Sunday Evening storm system will need to be monitored for a significant wintry mix/rain situation. This will exacerbate roof collapse concerns in particular if the current storm track verifies. A reminder to remove snow from strained roofs wherever possible. Coordination messages for this system will likely start towards the Thursday Evening or Friday timeframe..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor this storm on Thursday Morning. This is likely the only coordination message for this storm system unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and NWS Taunton Winter Graphics Page..
