Storm Coordination Message #1 – Friday Evening 12/6/13-Saturday Morning 12/7/13 Winter Storm Event
Hello to all..
..Storm System will affect portions of Southern New England tonight into early Saturday Morning Bringing Accumulating Snow particularly north of the Mass Turnpike. Since SKYWARN Recognition Day will occur and we will have Ops at NWS Taunton for that event, Ops at NWS Taunton will cover this storm event during the evening through around/shortly after Midnight and early Saturday Morning..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 6 PM Friday Evening to 6 AM Saturday Morning for Franklin, Hampshire, Western Hampden, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties for 2-4 inches of snow with isolated higher amounts of 5-6 inches in higher terrain locations in the east slopes of the Berkshires with a trace of ice possible. Precipitation will start as rain, mix with sleet/freezing rain before changing over to snow. Locations along and south of the Mass. Pike should see a Dusting to perhaps as much as 1-2 inches particularly locations closest to the Mass Pike..
..With SKYWARN Recognition Day causing planned operations at WX1BOX, SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will be part of the SRD event. We will be on the air for the event and looking for snowfall and precipitation type reports from 7 PM-12 AM tonight and we will look at coming in a bit earlier Saturday Morning for final snowfall total reports from Amateur Radio Operators and Spotters Saturday Morning. This will likely be the only coordination message on this event unless a significant upgrade to the storm occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Snowfall Map..
