Hello to all…
..Storm System for Tuesday into early Wednesday Morning will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to Southern New England and affect both the morning and evening commutes..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM Tuesday to 3 AM Wednesday for Franklin, Hampshire, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 1-3″ of snow and ice accretion of up to one-tenth to one-quarter of an inch with amounts of one-quarter to one-half inch of ice possible in higher elevations. If heavier icing can occur, isolated tree and wire damage and Isolated power outages are possible..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM to 7 PM Tuesday for Northern Connecticut, Hampden, Southern Worcester Counties of Massachusetts and Northwest Providence County of Rhode Island for an inch or less of snow and one-tenth of an inch of ice or less..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM to 7 PM Tuesday for Central Middlesex and Western Essex Counties of Massachusetts for 1-3″ of snow and sleet and a trace of ice accumulation..

..There is high confidence in timing and that a wintry mix of precipitation types but lower confidence in precipitation amounts for the different types of frozen precipitation. The different precip type amounts have been adjusted for a bit more ice accumulation and lesser snow amounts. The northern and western parts of the advisory areas could see icing amounts where if higher ice accumulations occur, some isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages are possible. Other areas will see a lighter icing that will just affect travel conditions..
..Another winter storm is possible Wednesday Night into Thursday. This will be handled in future coordination messages after the Tuesday event has passed..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm on Tuesday. This will likely be the last coordination message for this storm event unless time allows and a significant upgrade to the situation occurs.
