Snow Squall and Arctic Cold and Post Damaging Wind Event Coordination Message #1 – Friday Evening 3/3/17 Snow Squall Potential – Thursday 3/2/17 Post Damaging Wind Event Summary
Hello to all…
..Snow Squalls are possible late this afternoon and tonight across parts of Southern New England. While snow accumulations will likely be 1″ or less and not all locations will see snow squalls, the squalls could result in quickly reduced visibilities and hazardous road conditions in areas that receive them. There is an outside chance of more persistent snow squalls in the region with slightly higher snow accumulations but this is low probability at this time. This is associated with an arctic cold front which will bring bitterly cold temperatures that we have not seen for several weeks into the region. Wind gusts to 40 MPH may occur but will be nowhere near what we had Thursday..
..Any damage photos or video from yesterday’s wind event can be sent as a reply to this email, via our Facebook or Twitter feed or to pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter for the photos or video unless otherwise indicated. A Facebook photo album will be built up later today or this weekend.
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the snow squall potential for late this afternoon and tonight. This will likely be the only update on the snow squall and arctic cold potential unless time allows and a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Special Weather Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook on the snow squall and arctic cold potential and links to information on the damaging wind reports from yesterday..
