Storm Coordination Message #2 – Monday Late Afternoon 2/15/16-Tuesday Evening 2/16/16 Storm Potential
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 remains in effect from 3 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 remains in effect from 3 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..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 4 PM Monday to 1 AM Tuesday for Rhode Island except for Block Island and Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Southeast Middlesex, Norfolk, Bristol and Plymouth counties for a 1″ of snow and a trace to a few hundredths of an inch of ice..
..A High Wind Watch is in effect from Tuesday Afternoon to Tuesday Evening for Rhode Island except for Northwest Providence County and Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Southeast Middlesex, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts up to 50-60 MPH. These strong to damaging winds could cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..Minor urban and poor drainage flooding is possible in heavy rainfall with any snow melt through the day on Tuesday with 1-1.5″ rainfall amounts possible. At this time the strongest winds are expected to occur at low tide precluding a threat for minor coastal flooding along the South Coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island but this will continue to be monitored..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the wintry weather conditions for late Monday Afternoon into early Tuesday Morning. SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely on Tuesday to monitor heavy rainfall and strong wind potential with Ops at NWS Taunton possible for the strong to damaging wind potential..
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. The main change was to expand the Winter Weather Advisories to all locations except Cape Cod and the Islands. A wintry mix of precipitation is expected across Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island before a changeover to rain with some sleet and freezing rain making for hazardous travel in these areas. The freezing rain will last longer in Western and Central parts of Southern New England. At this time, expecting all icing to be more of a road hazard then a damage concern but this will be monitored. The cold ground from the recent cold weather may allow for icing to last longer even at marginal temperatures.
There will be very strong winds aloft and at this time while their remains uncertainty as to how much wind and how long any strong wind could mix down to the surface, there remains a concern for a short period of strong to damaging winds causing isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages in Eastern New England where a High Wind Watch is in effect from Tuesday Afternoon through Tuesday Evening for much of East Coastal and Southeast Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island except Northwest Rhode Island. Minor urban and poor drainage flooding is possible in heavy rainfall with any snow melt through the day on Tuesday with 1-1.5″ rainfall amounts possible. At this time the strongest winds are expected to occur at low tide precluding a threat for minor coastal flooding along the South Coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island but this will continue to be monitored.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the wintry weather conditions for late Monday Afternoon into early Tuesday Morning. SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely on Tuesday to monitor heavy rainfall and strong wind potential with Ops at NWS Taunton possible for the strong to damaging wind potential. The next coordination message will be posted by 1130 PM Monday Evening.
