Storm Coordination Message #2 – Thursday Night 2/17/22-Friday Morning 2/18/22 Strong to Damaging Wind & Heavy Rainfall Potential

Hello to all…

..Strong storm system accompanied with warmer temperatures on track to bringing strong to damaging winds and a 3-6 hour period of heavy rainfall between 0.50″-1.50″ with isolated higher rainfall amounts to Southern New England Thursday Night into Friday Morning..
..A High Wind Warning is now in effect from 11 PM Thursday Evening through 9 AM Friday Morning for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod and the Islands for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 65 MPH and isolated higher gusts possible if temperatures are a bit warmer than expected or a fine line of convective showers and thunderstorms develops . These winds will cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and power line damage and power outages..
..A High Wind Watch remains in effect from Thursday Evening into Friday Morning for North-Central Rhode Island, Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, North-Central Bristol,North-Central Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts and expanded into Tolland and Windham Counties of Connecticut, Essex, Central Middlesex and Southern Worcester Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 60 MPH with isolated higher gusts possible if temperatures are a bit warmer than expected or a fine line of convective showers and thunderstorms develops..
..Wind Advisories could be issued for areas outside the high wind watch and warning areas in future updates..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for measured wind gusts 40 MPH or greater, wind damage, and any rain gauge reports 1″ or more Thursday Night into Friday Morning..

A strong storm system will bring very warm temperatures to Southern New England with the potential for a period of heavy rain and strong to damaging winds to the region. The headlines depict current thinking. Key factors include:

1.) Strong winds aloft mixing down to the surface. This would be amplified if temperatures remained unusually warm Thursday Night into Friday Morning in the upper 50s to lower 60s or if a fine line of convective showers and thunderstorms develop.
2.) Wind advisories could be posted for portions of Western New England not under any high wind watches or warnings.
3.) Rainfall is not expected to bring widespread flooding but typical urban and poor drainage flooding from heavy rainfall and snow melt could occur as the system moves through the area.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for measured wind gusts 40 MPH or greater, wind damage, and any rain gauge reports 1″ or more Thursday Night into Friday Morning. Another coordination message will be posted by 1100 AM Thursday Morning. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton High Wind Warning/Watch Statement, Area Forecast Discussion and Wind Gust Map..

Storm Coordination Message #4 – Late Thursday Night 2/3/22-Friday Night 2/4/22 Wintry Mix Potential

Hello to all…

..Another Winter Storm will bring the potential of rain changing over to a wintry mix and then over to snow especially for interior Southern New England with a flash freeze likely..
..A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 1 AM to 7 PM Friday for Western Hampshire, Franklin, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for 1-4″ of snow and 0.10-0.20″ of ice accretion creating hazardous travel conditions. At this time ice accretion should remain below levels to cause issues with tree and power line damage but this aspect will be monitored closely with spotter reports on precip type, any icing damage, and snow/sleet versus icing amounts critical to the forecast..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 4 AM to 7 PM Friday for Central and Southeast Middlesex, Essex, Hampden, Eastern Hampshire, Southern Worcester, Norfolk, and Suffolk Counties of Massachusetts for up to 1 inch of snow and sleet and up to 0.10″ of icing causing slippery travel conditions. These amounts can vary based on the amount of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow occurs in the region..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 6 AM to 7 PM Friday for Northern Connecticut, North-Central Rhode Island and North Central Plymouth County of Massachusetts for up to 1 inch of snow and sleet and around 0.10″ of ice causing slippery travel conditions. These amounts can vary based on the amount of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow occurs in the region..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 10 AM to 7 PM Friday for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Cape Cod for up to 1 inch of snow and sleet and around one tenth inch of ice causing slippery travel conditions. These amounts can vary based on the amount of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow occurs in the region..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio call-up nets are likely on Friday for precipitation type changeover reports, snow/sleet accumulation reports, ice accretion reports and any storm damage or significant icing of roadways and accidents caused by icing reports..

**No major change to the forecast and warnings and advisories remain the same as the prior update. A partial Amateur Radio listing of nets is listed below:

Another winter storm though less impactful then this past weekend’s blizzard will impact the region late Thursday Night into Friday with rain changing to a brief period of freezing rain and then sleet and snow from north to south across the region with a flash freeze possible. The headlines depict the current thinking. The main key factor in this storm event includes the amounts of precipitation that fall as plain rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow as this could drastically change the severity of the winter storm. At this time, a rain to period of freezing rain will change to sleet and snow. This will cause hazardous travel but little to no infrastructure issues to trees and power lines unless temperature profiles change to allow for either more wet snow or freezing rain accumulation. Trends will be monitored in the precipitation type throughout this event and spotter reports on snow/sleet, ice and rain accumulations along with precipitation type will be critical to the forecast.

SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio call-up nets are likely on Friday. This will be the last coordination message as we shift into operations mode. The following is a partial Amateur Radio Net schedule:

730 AM: 146.940-Mount Tom Repeater PL: 127.3 Hz (Subsequent nets will be every hour on the half hour through at least 730 PM)
800 AM: 3944 KHz – Western Mass Emergency Net (Hourly thereafter)
830 AM: 146.970-Paxton Repeater PL: 114.8 Hz (Additional nets hourly or every two hours at the discretion of the net control)
900 AM: 146.790-Vernon CT Repeater PL: 82.5 Hz
1200 PM: NB1RI Repeater System
-The New England reflector system *NEW-ENG3* Echolink conference node: 9123/IRLP 9123 system will be monitored throughout the storm event for reports.

-Additional repeaters will be monitored on an as needed basis pending icing accumulation reports including:
145.470-Danvers Repeater (PL: 136.5 Hz)
146.640-Waltham Repeater (PL: 136.5 Hz)
146.955-Westford Repeater (PL: 74.4 Hz)
146.955-Barnstable Repeater (PL: 88.5 Hz)
146.895-Walpole Repeater (PL: 123.0 Hz)
147.000-Dartmouth Repeater (PL: 67.0 Hz)
