Hello to all…
..Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all SKYWARN Spotters and Amateur Radio Operators..
..A storm system Monday Afternoon through Tuesday Morning will bring light icing conditions with the possibility of slippery travel in parts of interior Massachusetts and may eventually extend into Northwest Connecticut and strong to damaging winds in interior and Coastal Southeast New England late Monday Night through Tuesday Morning. The strong wind potential could expand to other areas depending on how much of the area gets into the warmer air..
..A Freezing Rain Advisory remains in effect from 3-11 PM Monday for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts and is expanded into Hartford County Connecticut for a light icing that could impact travel..
..A Wind Advisory is now in effect for Bristol and Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts, Bristol, Newport and Washington Counties of Rhode Island and all of Cape Cod and the Islands from Midnight to 10 AM Tuesday for sustained winds of 15 to 25 MPH with gusts up to and around 50 MPH likely. This may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..There is potential for a possible nor’easter Thursday into Friday Morning. It is too early to get into any specific details on this potential and any coordination messages on this storm system won’t be posted until either Tuesday Evening or Wednesday Morning..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the progress of this storm system Monday Afternoon through Tuesday Morning. This will likely be the last coordination message on this storm system unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs.
