Hello to all..

..After extreme cold and strong winds across all of Southern New England and light snows on Cape Cod, another storm system will bring snow and a wintry mix of precipitation late Monday Afternoon into Tuesday Morning before changing into rain and the rain being heavy at times along with the potential for strong winds later Tuesday into Tuesday Evening and minor coastal flooding at the time of Tuesday’s high tide over South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 PM Monday to 6 AM Tuesday for a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain for Northern Connecticut, Southern Worcester, Central Middlesex, Western Essex and Eastern Hampden Counties for 1-3″ of snow and a trace of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 PM Monday to 9 AM Tuesday for a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain for Franklin, Hampshire, Northern Worcester, Western Hampden and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 2-4″ of snow and up to one tenth inch of ice..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the wintry weather conditions for late Monday Afternoon into early Tuesday Morning. Details on the potential heavy rainfall, strong winds across Southern New England and potential for minor coastal flooding along the south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island for Tuesday will be posted in later coordination messages..

After the extreme cold and strong winds Southern New England experienced this weekend, the pattern will turn stormy but also signal a warming trend. The wind and extreme cold low temperature info can be seen via the following link:

A strong storm system will track west of Southern New England Monday Night through Tuesday Night. The track of the storm known as an “inside runner” will bring a period of snow and mixed precipitation to portions of interior Southern New England before precipitation changes to rain. The storm message headlines depict the areas where Winter Weather Advisories are in effect. Rain will then become heavy at times Tuesday across much of Southern New England. There will be very strong winds aloft but it is unclear how much of those winds will reach the surface. Depending on the strength of the winds and the storm track, minor coastal flooding will be possible at the time of high tide across south coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the wintry weather conditions for late Monday Afternoon into early Tuesday Morning.

The next coordination message will be posted by 9 AM Monday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Snowfall Map:
