Storm Coordination Message #2 – Tuesday Afternoon 1/17/17-Wednesday 1/18/17 Winter Storm Potential
Hello to all…
..Storm system to bring a wintry mix of precipitation to portions of Western and Central New England and Northern Massachusetts near the New Hampshire state border mid-afternoon Tuesday through Wednesday Morning..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 10 AM Tuesday Morning to 7 AM Wednesday Morning for Western Franklin, Western Hampshire and Western Hampden Counties of Massachusetts for 2-5″ of snow and up to one tenth of an inch of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 PM Tuesday Afternoon to 7 AM Wednesday Morning for Eastern Franklin, Eastern Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 1-4″ of snow with isolated higher amounts near the New Hampshire border and a trace to up to one-tenth inch of icing..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 PM Tuesday Afternoon to 7 AM Wednesday Morning for Northern Connecticut for up to 1″ of snow and up to one tenth inch of icing..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 PM Tuesday Afternoon to 7 AM Wednesday Morning and for Central Middlesex County Massachusetts and western Essex County for 1-3″ of snow and a trace of ice. Isolated higher snow and/or ice amounts are possible near the New Hampshire border..
..Areas outside of the Winter Weather Advisory are expected to see a brief period of wintry mix before it changes over and remains plain rain..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for Tuesday Afternoon into Wednesday Morning. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible for the first part of the storm depending on how the winter weather unfolds in the advisory area..
A storm system will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the region. The headlines of this coordination message depict the current scenario but its noted that the key item for this storm will be what the predominant precip type within the wintry mix will be. A small change in temperature profiles could change whether the predominant precipitation is a wet snow, sleet or freezing rain within the advisory area. Outside the advisory area, precipitation is expected to be rain with a brief period of wintry mix at the start possible before changing over to rain. Spotter reports on precipitation type change over and snow/sleet/ice accumulations will be very helpful for this storm event.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for Tuesday Afternoon into Wednesday Morning. This will likely be the last complete coordination message for this event. A shortened coordination message will be issued if time allows and Ops at NWS Taunton are initiated.
