Hello to all…

..Strong Winds will occur over the course of the day today but not to the strength we had around the region on Monday. These winds, however, may slow power restoration efforts for those that have lost power..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect through 5 PM Tuesday Afternoon for the entire NWS Boston/Norton Coverage area for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with wind gusts of 40-50 MPH. This may result in a few isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect from Midnight to 8 AM Wednesday for Franklin, Western Hampden, Western Hampshire and Northern Worcester Counties of Massachusetts for wind chill indices as low as 15 to 20 below zero..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong winds for today. Any wind damage photos or videos can be provided as a reply to this email, via our WX1BOX Facebook or Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the SKYWARN Spotter or Amateur Radio Operator for the photos and/or videos.

Hello to all…

..Very Strong to Damaging Winds Expected Across much of Southern New England late tonight and especially during the day Monday with the peak winds expected Monday Afternoon into early evening. A few snow squalls are possible in Western New England..
..A High Wind Warning remains in effect from 10 PM Sunday Evening through 7 PM Monday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden and Worcester Counties of Massachusetts and from 3 AM to 7 PM Monday for the rest of the NWS Norton coverage area for sustained winds of 20-40 MPH with gusts to 60-65 MPH and a few isolated higher wind gusts between 65-70 MPH and possibly higher also likely. These winds will be sufficient to cause scattered to potentially numerous pockets of tree and wire damage and scattered to numerous power outages..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Boston/Norton will commence by 8 AM Monday Morning for the wind damage potential with self-activation monitoring conditions overnight through 8 AM Monday Morning..

The headlines depict the current potential with the storm system for the damaging wind potential for the region late Sunday Night into Monday Evening where High Wind Warnings remain in effect for the entire coverage area and the potential for wind gusts between 60-65 MPH and a few isolated wind gusts between 65-70 MPH with possibly higher wind gusts. The strongest winds will be during the day on Monday into Monday Afternoon. Very strong wind fields aloft, good mixing capability to bring the winds down to the surface and a very significant pressure difference between the storm to our northwest that is deepening and the high pressure system will allow for these damaging winds in the region. A couple of other factors that will be worth monitoring include that several of the higher elevation locations in the east slopes of the Berkshires had 1/8-1/4″ icing on trees and power lines and the strong winds in these areas may have a greater impact giving that icing. Also, areas that lost their snow pack with Sunday’s rainfall will create saturated ground that might also allow for enhanced wind damage potential due to the saturated ground conditions.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Boston/Norton will commence by 8 AM Monday Morning for the wind damage potential with self-activation monitoring conditions overnight through 8 AM Monday Morning. This will be the last coordination message on this storm potential as we shift into operations mode.

Hello to all…

..Plowable Moderate Snowstorm becoming likely for portions of Southern New England Sunday Night into Monday..
..A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 11 PM Sunday Evening through 4 PM Monday Afternoon for Providence, Kent and Bristol Counties of Rhode Island and Bristol and Plymouth Counties of Southeast Massachusetts for 4-7″ of snow. South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island locations in the warning area could be on the lower end of amounts if sleet and rain mixes in but that’s currently expected to be south of that area..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 11 PM Sunday Evening through 4 PM Monday Afternoon for Newport and Washington Counties of Rhode Island and Barnstable County (Cape Cod) Massachusetts for 3-6″ of snow and this area may see the snow mix with a period of sleet and rain for a time during the day on Monday. If the mix does not occur, amounts could be slightly higher into the Winter Storm Warning range of other parts of Southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Massachusetts and Block Island Rhode Island from 11 PM Sunday Evening through 4 PM Monday Afternoon for 2-4″ of snow and this area will see the snow mix with sleet and rain for a time during the day on Monday..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from Midnight to 4 PM Monday for Franklin, Hampshire, Northern Worcester, Middlesex Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk Counties of Massachusetts for 3-6″ of snow..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 10 PM Sunday Evening to 1 PM Monday Afternoon for Northern Connecticut, Hampden and Southern Worcester Counties of Massachusetts for 3-6″ of snow..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with periodic Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets will monitor for snowfall totals around the region starting with the Cape & Islands Weather Net at 600 AM Monday Morning..

A storm system is looking like it will come close enough to Southern New England for accumulating snowfall and a plowable, moderate snowstorm for portions of Southern New England particularly along and south of the Mass Pike. The headlines depict the latest thinking. Key factors for this storm system include:

1.) The track of the storm system as a track further north and west means more snow for the region while a storm track further south and east means less snowfall for the region.
2.) Where any bands of heavier snow may setup including any ocean enhancement with Northeast to North-Northeast flow over Southeastern New England and potentially portions of Northeast Massachusetts.
3.) Model have held the trend of the higher snowfall amounts from the shift in model guidance that was seen starting Saturday Afternoon.
4.) There is some chance for a sleet and rain mix along parts of South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The headlines reflect current thinking but could slightly change depending on the storm track, intensity of precipitation and where the rain/snow line ultimately sets up.

SKYWARN Self-Activation with periodic Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets will monitor for snowfall totals around the region starting with the Cape & Islands Weather Net at 600 AM Monday Morning. This will be the last coordination message on this storm event as we shift into operations mode.
