Hello to all…

..After the strong to damaging winds Thursday into early Friday Morning and the bitterly cold wind chills of Friday Morning, a winter storm will bring snow and ice to interior Southern New England and snow to ice to rain across East and South Coastal Massachusetts, South Coastal Rhode Island and interior Southeast Massachusetts and Southern Rhode Island. A flash freeze after temperatures warm near or above freezing is possible in interior Southern New England..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 AM to 3 PM Saturday for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester, Northern and Central Middlesex and Western Essex County Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut and Northwest Rhode Island for 3-6″ of snow and up to one tenth of an inch of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 AM to 1 PM Saturday for Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Southeast Middlesex, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable Counties of Massachusetts and the rest of Rhode Island except Block Island for 1-4″ of snow before a changeover to rain. A flash freeze could affect north-central parts of this advisory area in the evening..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall reports and changeover in precipitation type including Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets during the morning/early afternoon for snowfall reports and later in the afternoon for freezing rain and ice accretion as needed..

Strong to damaging winds occurred in portions of Southern New England Thursday into early Friday Morning. Links to the wind measurements and wind damage reports can be seen here:

NWS Taunton Public Information Statement:
http://kamala.cod.edu/offs/KBOX/1612160905.nous41.html

A storm system will track to the north and west of Southern New England. This will bring snow changing to freezing rain in interior Southern New England and snow to freezing rain to rain over East Coastal and Southeast New England. The headliners depict current snowfall and ice accretion expectations. The ice accretion aspect will need to be monitored in case more freezing rain occurs than expected as well as the possibility for a flash freeze in areas that are near or just above freezing as this could create tough travel conditions if the flash freeze occurs after snow and ice falls and any wet roadways freeze over.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall reports and changeover in precipitation type including Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets during the morning/early afternoon for snowfall reports and later in the afternoon for freezing rain and ice accretion as needed. Another coordination message could be issued Saturday Evening for strong winds and rainfall as a cold front approaches the region on Sunday.

Hello to all…

..Arctic Cold Front will blast through Southern New England bringing bitterly cold conditions and the potential for damaging winds overnight Thursday into early Friday Morning. SKYWARN Spotters and Amateur Radio Operators should closely monitor the Thursday Evening/overnight period for potential damaging winds..
..A High Wind Warning is now in effect for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area starting at 5 PM Thursday Afternoon across the entire NWS Taunton coverage area ending at 5 AM Friday Morning for Cape Cod and the Islands and 4 AM Friday Morning for the rest of the NWS Taunton coverage area for sustained winds of 20-40 MPH with gusts in the 60-70 MPH with isolated higher wind gusts possible. These winds could potentially cause scattered to numerous pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages..
..A Wind Chill Advisory is now in effect from 10 PM Thursday Evening through 11 AM Friday Morning for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester, and North-Central Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for wind chills as low as 21 below zero and air temperatures in the 5 below to 5 above zero range overnight and getting up to 15 degrees above zero Friday Morning. A Wind Chill Advisory is also in effect from Midnight to 9 AM Friday for Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Eastern Essex, and Northern Bristol Counties of Massachusetts, Northwest Providence County of Rhode Island and all of Northern Connecticut for wind chills as low as 6 below zero and air temperatures in the single digits above zero overnight and in the low teens by mid-morning to midday Friday. Areas outside of the Wind Chill Advisory areas will see wind chills in the single digits above zero to zero degrees and people should dress appropriately if outdoors..
..An additional storm system will potentially impact the region with a plowable snowfall before a changeover to ice and then rain with rain extending into Sunday and the possibility for some strong winds though not as significant as Thursday Evening at this time. This will be assessed further in future coordination messages..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence between 4-5 PM EST to monitor the strong wind and wind damage potential as the strongest winds maybe a bit earlier than previously modeled. ARES/RACES groups should closely monitor the progress of the strong to damaging wind potential Thursday Evening and seek advice from local leadership due to bitterly cold conditions and the potential for power outages..

An active several day weather period is expected across Southern New England. An Arctic Cold front will bring a short-lived but very intense period of bitterly cold conditions. It will also bring the potential for damaging winds. The damaging wind potential is during Thursday Evening extending into the overnight hours into early Friday Morning and then will subside during the day Friday. High Wind Watches have been upgraded now to High Wind Warnings for the entire region. It is also noted that the strongest winds could start earlier this evening into the overnight hours. This is pushing up the activation start time to the 4-5 PM timeframe. With the bitterly cold weather and the potential for possible power outages, this will need close monitoring. Wind Chills will add to the bitterly cold conditions over the region. Wind Chill Watches were upgraded and expanded into Wind Chill Advisories for much of Southern New England as noted in the message headlines.

Following the cold front with bitterly cold conditions and the damaging wind potential, another storm system will approach with the potential for a plowable snowfall followed by some ice and then rain across much of Southern New England particularly away from the coast. There will also be the potential for some strong winds with this storm system though currently not as strong as Thursday Evening’s potential winds. There could also be widespread rainfall over the region extending into Sunday. Details on this storm will be covered in future coordination messages.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence between 4-5 PM EST to monitor the strong wind and wind damage potential as the strongest winds maybe a bit earlier than previously modeled. ARES/RACES groups should closely monitor the progress of the strong to damaging wind potential Thursday Evening and seek advice from local leadership due to bitterly cold conditions and the potential for power outages. This will be the last coordination message on the damaging wind and bitter cold conditions for tonight into Friday Morning. The next coordination message on the weekend storm will be posted by Noon Friday given Amateur Radio operations for the damaging wind potential for tonight.

Hello to all…

..Plowable snowfall expected for much of interior Southern New England Sunday Night through midday Monday with a fairly rapid snow to ice to rain transition along coastal areas from the Boston to Providence corridor south and east and a slower transition of snow to ice to rain across Northern Connecticut, Northwest Rhode Island and Northeast Massachusetts to near the I-495 corridor with mostly snow and ice north of the Mass Pike and west of I-495. The Monday Morning commute will have wintry impacts particularly from the I-495 corridor north and west and from just south of the Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island border and points north..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 7 PM Sunday Evening through 1 PM Monday for Western Franklin and Western Hampshire Counties for 4-8″ of snow and possibly some light icing of a few hundredths of an inch..
..A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 7 PM this Sunday Evening to 1 PM Monday for Northern Connecticut, Northwest Providence County Rhode Island and from Essex and Southeast Middlesex Counties westward through Western Hampden and Central and Eastern Franklin Counties of Massachusetts. Total snowfall of 3-6″ is expected along and north of the Mass Pike and along and west of I-495 with a trace to one tenth of an inch ice near I-495 and the Mass Pike. Total snowfall of 2-4″ is expected for much of Northern Connecticut, Northwest Rhode Island and interior Northeast Massachusetts between the I-95 and I-495 corridor with a trace to a tenth of an inch of ice. A coating to 2″ of snow is expected along and south and east of I-95 from the Boston to Providence corridor south and east. Model solutions have varied on how long cold air will hold in the region but this latest update appears to be a reasonable expectation for snow and ice totals in the region..
..Some minor splashover at the time of high tide between 4-8 AM is possible in South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A coastal flood statement has been sent regarding this threat..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall and icing reports and changeover in precipitation type reports for this storm event. Some Amateur Radio call-up nets on local SKYWARN repeaters are likely early Monday Morning through midday in the 6 AM to 1 PM timeframe on Amateur Radio SKYWARN repeaters in Northern Connecticut, Western, Central and interior Northeast Massachusetts..

The first widespread snowfall of the season is expected across much of Southern New England and especially interior locations of Southern New England. The headlines of this coordination message depict the current thinking. The biggest change in this update is to upgrade Western Franklin and Western Hampshire Counties of Northwest Massachusetts to a Winter Storm Warning and that a coastal flood statement has been issued for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island for the Monday Morning high tide. Key items for this storm continue to include:

1.) Timing of the onset of the storm. It will initially be cold and if snow is able to reach the ground Sunday Evening, it will be a light fluffier snow which could allow for more accumulation. If it is too dry, it may take time for thing to moisten up to allow snow to reach the ground.
2.) How long the cold air is able to remain entrenched in the region and how deep the cold air will be. This will determine if snow is able to last longer particularly in interior locations and how much any ice accumulation could be in the area. It is noted that temperatures were colder than expected this morning and that will need to be monitored to see how much warming occurs during the day and this could affect snow and ice amounts.
3.) Storm track and how quickly secondary low formation occurs and where it tracks. This could impact the amount of cold air in the region as highlighted in item 2.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall and icing reports and changeover in precipitation type reports for this storm event. Some Amateur Radio call-up nets on local SKYWARN repeaters are likely early Monday Morning through midday in the 6 AM to 1 PM timeframe on Amateur Radio SKYWARN repeaters in Northern Connecticut, Western, Central and interior Northeast Massachusetts. This will be the last coordination message on this winter storm unless time allows and a significant change to the situation occurs.

Hello to all…

..Another small storm system will bring a light snow event overnight and possibly into the Wednesday Morning Commute across portions of Southern New England especially along and west of the I-95 or possibly slightly further west than the last event making it along or west of the I-495 corridor. Snow accumulations of a Coating to 2″ are expected with the higher amounts in Western Massachusetts and Northwest Connecticut and in the higher terrain locations. Snow may mix with or change to rain before ending especially between the I-495 corridor to the coast. The storm may have slightly more impact given its timing prior to and possibly during the Wednesday Morning commute..
