Blizzard/Storm Coordination Message #4 – Thursday 2/9/17 Major Winter Storm/Blizzard Potential

February 9, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..Coastal storm on track to rapidly organize bringing a significant snowfall for Southern New England with strong to damaging winds along the coast and in Eastern New England and a period of blizzard conditions for Eastern Plymouth County and Cape Cod and the Islands and near blizzard conditions in portions of Eastern New England later Thursday Morning through Thursday Evening. Snowfall amounts raised region wide with wind gusts at the coast and in Eastern New England raised as well..
..A Blizzard Warning remains in effect from 9 AM to 8 PM Thursday for Cape Cod and the Islands including Block Island Rhode Island and Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts for 12-18″ of snow with isolated higher amounts possible. In the Blizzard Warning area, sustained winds of 30-40 MPH with wind gusts of 55-65 MPH with isolated higher gusts likely. Snowfall rates of 2-4″ per hour are likely with thundersnow possible to likely in some areas. With the heavy snowfall and strong to damaging winds, this will have the potential to create blizzard conditions and isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated to scattered power outages..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 8 PM Thursday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 12-18″ of snow with isolated higher amounts and wind gusts in the 20-35 MPH range with some blowing and drifting snow likely. Snowfall rates of 2-4″ per hour are likely with thundersnow possible to likely in some areas..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect 8 PM Thursday Night for all of Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts not covered by the blizzard warning for 12-18″ of snow with isolated higher amounts possible and sustained winds of 15-30 MPH with stronger sustained winds at the coast and wind gusts in the 40-50 MPH range with the higher gusts at the coast. The winds and snowfall may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages along with considerable blowing and drifting snow and near blizzard conditions likely. Snowfall rates of 2-4″ per hour are likely with thundersnow possible to likely in some areas..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 8 AM-1 PM Thursday for East Coastal Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands for minor coastal flooding of shore roads at the time of high tide and potentially extending a couple hours after high tide. Minor splashover could occur at the Thursday Evening high tide cycle…
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton started at 515 AM and will likely last through 11 PM Thursday Evening. Pictures and videos of damage, snowfall etc. can be sent via the WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds, via email at pics@nsradio.org or as a reply to this message. These pictures and video will be shared with emergency management, Non-Governmental Organizations and media with credit given to the spotter or Amateur Radio for the picture/video unless otherwise noted..

The coastal storm is on track for the region. Snow has started across Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut and is reaching Western Rhode Island as of 655 AM. A stronger system is being forecasted which is resulting in stronger winds and higher snowfall amounts. The headlines depict the current thinking in terms of snowfall amounts and strong to damaging winds in Eastern New England and especially along the coast line including blizzard conditions for Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands and Block Island. Near blizzard conditions are likely in eastern parts of the Winter Storm Warning area especially near the coast and Southeast Massachusetts in South Coastal Rhode Island. Heavier bands of snow are likely but at this point a widespread heavier snowfall is expected across the NWS Taunton Coverage area. The threat of a more widespread minor coastal flood event has resulted in a coastal flood advisory for East Coastal Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands for the Thursday Morning high tide cycle. Key factors remain as follows:

1.) As stated previously, this will be a coastal storm and the track is near the 40 North/70 West Benchmark and more intense and this means stronger winds and a widespread heavier snowfall across the area. Once the snow starts, within an hour or two of starting, it will become heavy with a several hour period of 2-4 inch per hour snowfall and thundersnow possible to likely in some areas. The heaviest snow across the region will be from 9 AM-5 PM Thursday with the timing a little later around 11 AM through 7 or 8 PM on the Cape and Islands and possibly other parts of Southeast New England. It is also noted some areas along the south coast and Cape Cod may start off as rain and as precipitation gets heavier, temperatures will drop and precipitation will changeover to snow and rapidly become heavy.
2.) Track, intensity and how fast temperatures will drop will also determine where a wetter snow may occur which coupled with strong winds could result in isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages. At this time, the consistency of the snow is expected to start as a wet snow and then get drier as colder air continues to move into the region.
2.) There remains the potential for a bigger build up of seas or waves for a bit more of a widespread minor coastal flood event resulting in a Coastal Flood Advisory for East Coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands for the Thursday Morning high tide cycle. Shore road flooding is the biggest threat for coastal flooding Thursday Morning. More minor splashover and isolated coastal flooding is expected for the Thursday Evening high tide cycle as winds turn more offshore by that time.
4.) The track and intensity of the storm and the pressure gradient has meant a bump up in the strength of the winds over Coastal areas of Southern New England and extending into Southeast New England.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton started at 515 AM. Pictures and videos of damage, snowfall etc. can be sent via the WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds, via email at pics@nsradio.org or as a reply to this message. These pictures and video will be shared with emergency management, Non-Governmental Organizations and media with credit given to the spotter or Amateur Radio for the picture/video unless otherwise noted. This will be the last coordination message for this storm system.

Blizzard/Storm Coordination Message #3 – Thursday 2/9/17 Major Winter Storm/Blizzard Potential

February 8, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..After a mild spring-like day Wednesday, conditions will get colder and a coastal storm will organize bringing a significant snowfall for Southern New England with strong to damaging winds along the coast and in Eastern New England and a period of blizzard conditions for Eastern Plymouth County and Cape Cod and the Islands and near blizzard conditions in portions of Eastern New England early Thursday Morning through Thursday Evening..
..A Blizzard Warning is now in effect from 9 AM to 8 PM Thursday for Cape Cod and the Islands including Block Island Rhode Island and Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts for 8-14″ of snow with isolated higher amounts or a band of higher amounts of 14-18″ of snow except on Nantucket where 6-12″ of snow is expected. In the Blizzard Warning area, sustained winds of 20-40 MPH with wind gusts of 50-60 MPH. With the heavy snowfall and strong to damaging winds, this will have the potential to create blizzard conditions and isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated to scattered power outages..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 4 AM Thursday Morning to 8 PM Thursday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 7-14″ of snow with isolated higher amounts and wind gusts in the 20-35 MPH range..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 6 AM Thursday Morning through 8 PM Thursday Night for all of Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts not covered by the blizzard warning for 8-14″ of snow with isolated higher amounts or a band of higher amounts of 14-18″ possible and sustained winds of 10-20 MPH with higher sustained winds closer to the coast of 20-30 MPH and wind gusts in the 40-50 MPH range with the higher gusts at the coast. The winds and snowfall may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages along with considerable blowing and drifting snow and near blizzard conditions likely..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 8 AM-1 PM Thursday for East Coastal Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands for minor coastal flooding of shore roads at the time of high tide and potentially extending a couple hours after high tide. Minor splashover could occur at the Thursday Evening high tide cycle…
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence no later than 6 AM Thursday Morning and last through Thursday Evening..

After a mild spring-like day will occur Wednesday, colder air will be entering the region Wednesday Night. As conditions get colder, a coastal storm will develop and bring a widespread significant snowfall to the region. The headlines depict the current thinking in terms of snowfall amounts and strong to damaging winds in Eastern New England and especially along the coast line including blizzard conditions for Eastern Plymouth County Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands and Block Island where a Blizzard Warning is in effect. Near blizzard conditions are likely in eastern parts of the Winter Storm Warning area especially near the coast and Southeast Massachusetts in South Coastal Rhode Island. Heavier bands of snow are likely and some delineation of those areas are noted. Also, more of a widespread minor coastal flood event has resulted in a coastal flood advisory for East Coastal Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands for the Thursday Morning high tide cycle. Key factors that will determine possible heavier bands of snow and stronger winds and extent of minor coastal flooding and damage from snow and strong winds are as follows:

1.) As stated previously, this will be a coastal storm and the track of the storm will determine where the heaviest snow and possibly a band or two of heavier snow beyond the current ranges will occur within the NWS Taunton coverage area. It will also determine where a wetter snow may occur which coupled with strong winds could result in isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages. At this time, the consistency of the snow is expected to start as a wet snow and then get drier as colder air continues to move into the region. Since the last coordination message, heavier snowfall on Nantucket is looking more likely and that along with strong to damaging winds has resulted in a Blizzard Warning being issued for Nantucket along with the other islands, Cape Cod, and Eastern Plymouth County.
2.) There now appears to be the potential for a bigger build up of seas or waves for a bit more of a widespread minor coastal flood event resulting in a Coastal Flood Advisory for East Coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands for the Thursday Morning high tide cycle. Shore road flooding is the biggest threat for coastal flooding Thursday Morning. More minor splashover and isolated coastal flooding is expected for the Thursday Evening high tide cycle as winds turn more offshore by that time.
3.) The track and intensity of the storm and the pressure gradient has meant a bump up in the strength of the winds over Coastal areas of Southern New England and extending into Southeast New England.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence no later than 6 AM Thursday Morning and last through Thursday Evening. This will be the last coordination message for this storm system unless time allows and a significant change to the situation occurs.

Storm Coordination Message #2 – Thursday 2/9/17 Significant Winter Storm Potential

February 8, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..After a mild spring-like day Wednesday, conditions will get colder and a coastal storm will organize bringing a significant snowfall for Southern New England with strong winds along the coast and in Eastern New England late Wednesday Night through Thursday Evening..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 4 AM Thursday Morning to 9 PM Thursday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 8-12″ of snow with isolated or a band of higher amounts possible and wind gusts in the 20-35 MPH range..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 6 AM Thursday Morning through Midnight Thursday Night for all of Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts except for Nantucket for 6-12″ of snow with isolated or a band of higher amounts possible and sustained winds of 10-20 MPH with higher sustained winds closer to the coast of 20-30 MPH and wind gusts in the 40-50 MPH range with the higher gusts at the coast. The winds and snowfall may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages along with considerable blowing and drifting snow..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence some time between 4-6 AM and last through Thursday Evening..

After the light wintry mix and icing overnight, a mild spring-like day will occur Wednesday but a cold front will move through the area with colder air lagging behind and entering the region Wednesday Night. As conditions get colder, a coastal storm will develop and bring a widespread significant snowfall to the region. The headlines depict the current thinking in terms of snowfall amounts and strong winds in Eastern New England and especially along the coast line. Key factors that will determine possible heavier bands of snow and stronger winds and possibly isolated minor coastal flooding are as follows:

1.) The Wednesday Evening through late Thursday Night winter storm event will be a coastal storm and the track of the storm will determine where the heaviest snow and possibly a band or two of heavier snow beyond the current ranges will occur within the NWS Taunton coverage area. It will also determine where a wetter snow may occur which coupled with strong winds could result in isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages and how much mixing or rain occurs on Nantucket Island.
2.) There will not be enough build up of seas or waves for a widespread coastal flood event but a few pockets of minor coastal flooding at the time of high tide may occur and will bear watching.
3.) The track and intensity of the storm and the pressure gradient will determine if stronger wind gusts beyond the current ranges are possible in the region.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence some time between 4-6 AM and last through Thursday Evening. Another coordination message will be posted by 1130 PM this evening.

Storm Coordination Message #1 – Tuesday Evening 2/7/17 Light Wintry Mix – Late Wednesday Night 2/8/17-Thursday Evening 2/9/17 Significant Winter Storm

February 8, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..A Wintry Mix of precipitation winds down overnight followed by a mild spring-like day Wednesday. Conditions will get colder and a coastal storm will organize bringing a significant snowfall for Southern New England with strong winds along the coast and in Eastern New England late Wednesday Night through Thursday Evening..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 3 AM Wednesday Morning for Franklin, Hampshire, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for continued light wintry mix conditions..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 10 PM Tuesday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Hampden, Southern Worcester, Central Middlesex and Essex Counties of Massachusetts for continued light wintry mix conditions..
..A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect from Wednesday Evening through late Thursday Night for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage area except for Nantucket Island for 8-12″ of snow with the possibility of higher amounts in a few areas within the watch area. Winds in Eastern Massachusetts and coastal Rhode island could be sustained at 15-30 MPH with gusts of 45-50 MPH with possible higher gusts along coastal areas. Wind gusts to 35 MPH are possible in the remaining watch areas. The winds at coastal areas and the possibility of heavier wetter snow particularly along the south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and Cape Cod could result in isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will continue to monitor light wintry mix conditions overnight. SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton is likely beginning early Thursday Morning lasting through Thursday Evening..

A light wintry mix is continuing across the Winter Weather Advisory as indicated in the headlines of this coordination message. Snowfall/sleet amounts in the advisory areas have been anywhere from a coating to around 4″ with some icing amounts anywhere from a trace to one-quarter inch of icing. Another trace of ice and/or snow is possible this evening with slick/icy conditions possible. If enough icing occurs, there could be some isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages. This will wind down tonight with a spring-like day of temperatures in the 50s to possibly even the lower 60s before conditions quickly return to winter with a significant snowfall expected and a Winter Storm Watch up for the entire region except for Nantucket Island but a plowable snowfall is possible for Nantucket. The headlines of this coordination message depict the current thinking with the winter storm for Wednesday Evening through late Thursday Night. Other items for consideration with the upcoming winter storm include:

1.) The Wednesday Evening through late Thursday Night winter storm event will be a coastal storm and the track of the storm will determine where the heaviest snow and possibly a band or two of heavier snow beyond the current ranges will occur within the NWS Taunton coverage area. It will also determine where a wetter snow may occur which coupled with strong winds could result in isolated tree and wire damage and isolated power outages and how mixing or rain occurs on Nantucket Island.
2.) There will not be enough build up of seas or waves for a widespread coastal flood event but a few pockets of minor coastal flooding at the time of high tide may occur and will bear watching.
3.) The track and intensity of the storm and the pressure gradient will determine if stronger wind gusts beyond the current ranges are possible in the region.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will continue to monitor light wintry mix conditions overnight. SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton is likely beginning early Thursday Morning lasting through Thursday Evening.

Storm Coordination Message #2 – Tuesday 2/7/17 Through Early Wednesday Morning 2/8/17 Wintry Mix Potential

February 7, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

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..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM to 11 AM Tuesday for Western Norfolk, Northern Bristol and Western Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts and Southeast Providence and Kent Counties of Rhode Island for a trace to a few hundredths of an inch of ice..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 5 AM to 1 PM Tuesday for Eastern Essex and Southeast Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for up to 1″ of snow and a trace of ice..
..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.

Special Announcement: SKYWARN Training 2017 Schedule Update and Off Topic – Boston Marathon Volunteer Registration Open Through Wednesday 2/8/17 at 500 PM ET

February 4, 2017 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

We wanted to provide an update on the SKYWARN Training 2017 Schedule. We currently have 7 SKYWARN Classes booked across the region and we will be looking to add additional classes between now and early March. The complete schedule can be seen at the following links:

NWS Taunton SKYWARN Training Class Schedule Links:
http://beta.wx1box.org/node/36
http://www.weather.gov/box/skywarn

Please forward the current SKYWARN Training Class schedule links and information to any Amateur Radio Clubs or other volunteer groups who might be interested in becoming SKYWARN Spotters.

Also, as we have posted yearly as an off topic item, there are volunteer opportunities for the 2017 Boston Marathon including for Amateur Radio Operators across the start, course, finish and with transportation medical buses and for non-Amateur Radio Operators for various medical and logistical roles across these areas. Volunteer registration is open through 500 PM Wednesday February 8th. For volunteer information registration and information, please see the following link:

http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/event-information/volunteer-information/volunteer-registration.aspx

If you are interested in volunteering for the 2017 Boston Marathon but are not sure at this early stage about whether you can participate, we encourage you to register now and if it turns out you cannot volunteer, send notification that you can no longer volunteer. It will be very difficult to bring in volunteers once registration closes.

For Amateur Radio/Ham Radio Operators, you don’t need to specify any group name or passcode. Just make sure you request at least one ham radio assignment in your preferences. Once you get your application confirmation number, you’re all set.

If you’re a returning volunteer (whether an Amateur Radio or non-Amateur Radio assignment), you’ll be asked to provide your BAA Volunteer Loyalty Number. You should’ve received that in a separate e-mail from the BAA today. There’s also a tool to look it up on the BAA volunteer site. If you still have trouble finding it, e-mail us and we can help you out.

Don’t delay! Volunteer registration closes on Wednesday February 8th at 500 PM. Help us get the word out by forwarding this e-mail to your club and other hams who might like to volunteer and for non-hams to any volunteer groups who might be interested in supporting the event. Most volunteers first learn about the event through word of mouth. If you know new amateurs or other new people involved in volunteering for events who might like to volunteer, make sure to let them know about it. Even just a quick mention at your club meeting or regular meeting of your organization can be a big help.

If you have any questions about volunteer registration, or the 2017 Marathon generally, please get in touch anytime. Volunteering at the Marathon is a big job, and we appreciate the time and effort everyone puts into it. We’re happy to do what we can to make your work more comfortable or effective.

Thanks to anyone who is interested in volunteering for the 2017 Boston Marathon and spreading the word on that event and for spreading the word on the current slate of SKYWARN Training Classes. Again, more SKYWARN Training classes will be scheduled over the next one month period.

Respectfully Submitted,
