Storm Coordination Message #1 – Wednesday 2/23/21 Strong Wind Potential & Late Thursday Night 2/24/22-Friday Night 2/25/22 Winter Storm Potential

Hello to all…

..Strong Wind Gusts overnight have subsided but will renew over Western Mass in the higher terrain and to a lesser extent across the rest of Southern New England later this Wednesday Afternoon and Evening as a strong cold front brings an end to the unseasonably mild conditions and sets the stage for another significant winter storm for much of Southern New England..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect through 11 PM tonight to for Western Franklin, Western Hampden and Western Hampshire Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 15-25 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH. The rest of Southern New England could see wind gusts around 40 MPH with isolated higher gusts as the cold front moves through. These winds could cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from late Thursday Night into Friday Evening for all of Southern New England except for Block Island RI, Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket, MA for 6-12″ of snow with isolated higher amounts along and north of the Mass Pike and 4-8″ of snow with isolated higher amounts south of the Mass Pike where a mix with sleet and freezing rain is possible. The islands may see some accumulating snow but below watch/warning thresholds..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong winds for Wednesday Afternoon and Evening. SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets likely for Friday to acquire snowfall amounts and precipitation type changeover reports..

Unseasonably mild conditions today will end later this afternoon and evening as a strong cold front brings strong winds and colder temperatures to the region with Wind Advisories posted in the east slopes of the Berkshires. There is also the potential for wind gusts of 40 MPH or greater in other parts of Southern New England as the headlines indicate.

As we get into late Thursday Night into Friday, a significant winter storm is expected across Southern New England. There is high confidence in the heavy snowfall potential along and north of the Mass Pike but lesser confidence in heavier snow totals south of the Mass Pike depending on the wintry mix that occurs in this area and how much warm air can erode cold air at the surface. This will be refined in latest updates. A plowable snowfall is likely all across the Winter Storm Watch area with higher confidence in heavier snowfall amounts along and north of the Mass Pike.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong winds for Wednesday Afternoon and Evening. SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets likely for Friday to acquire snowfall amounts and precipitation type changeover reports. Another coordination message will be posted by 11 PM Wednesday Evening.

Storm Coordination Message #1 – Tuesday Night 2/22/22-Wednesday AM 2/23/22 Strong Wind Potential, Late Thursday Night 2/24/22-Friday Night 2/25/22 Winter Storm Potential

Hello to all…

..Storm System will bring 0.50-1.00″ of rain with isolated higher amounts and a period of strong winds to the region Tuesday Night into Wednesday Morning. After a warm day Wednesday, a cold front will bring colder temperatures and then the potential for a significant winter storm late Thursday Night into Friday Evening as an active weather period continues..
..A Wind Advisory is now in effect from 8 PM Tuesday Evening through 5 AM Wednesday Morning for Central and Southeast Middlesex, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket Counties of Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island except Northwest Providence County RI for sustained winds of 15-25 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH. These winds will cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for measured wind gusts of 40 MPH or greater, wind damage and rainfall reports of 1″ or more tonight into Wednesday Morning. SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are likely for the potential winter storm for Friday..

An active period of weather is again upon us in Southern New England. A storm system tonight into Tuesday Morning will bring a period of rain as well as some strong winds to the region. The headlines depict the current thinking with the key factor being how much winds reach the surface and whether they reach these expected speeds, are higher than expected, or if they are lower than expected. The current headlines depict the scenario expected.

Following that system and temperatures near record highs on Wednesday, we will have another potentially significant winter storm affect the region late Thursday Night into Friday Evening with heavy snow particularly around and north of the Mass Pike with snow and a wintry mix potential for areas south of the Mass Pike. It has the potential for 6″ or more of snow especially for areas along and north of the Mass Pike with plowable amounts of snow and some ice potential south of the Mass Pike. Winter weather headlines are likely in future updates and more details on this system will be given in future coordination messages.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for measured wind gusts of 40 MPH or greater, wind damage and rainfall reports of 1″ or more tonight into Wednesday Morning. SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are likely for the potential winter storm for Friday. This will be the only coordination message on the Tuesday Night into Wednesday Morning event unless a significant update to the situation occurs and time allows for an update. Updates on the late Thursday Night to Friday winter storm will be posted as winter weather headlines are issued.

Snow Squall Coordination Message #2 – Saturday Afternoon/Evening 2/19/22 Snow Squall Potential

Hello to all…

..A line of snow squalls associated with an arctic cold front will sweep through the region between about 2-8 PM Saturday from west to east. They will bring briefly heavy snow, strong wind gusts potentially up to 35-40 MPH and a quick coating to 1″ of snow with isolated amounts of 2″ but in the timeframe of an hour or less. These type of snow squall situations with an arctic cold front can cause rapidly lowered visibility with a brief period of whiteout conditions, icy roads and the potential for car accidents due to rapidly changing road conditions. Spotter reports for Snow Squalls will be very helpful for this situation..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are likely similar to a summer time thunderstorm situation where nets will be brought up as the line of snow squalls move through the area on Saturday. The traditional reporting criteria of a final snowfall amount, thundersnow, measured wind gusts 40 MPH or greater and any wind damage will be helpful and in addition to those reports, per the snow squall reporting criteria, visibility of 1/4 mile or less and where possible pictures and/or videos of to show those conditions and any reports of accidents during or shortly after the snow squall has passed..
..This will be the last coordination message as we shift into operations mode. Pics/videos of the snow squalls can be sent via our WX1BOX Facebook/Twitter feeds or to the email address pics@nsradio.org Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) Mesoscale Convective Discussion (MCD)..

Storm Coordination Message #3 – 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 remains 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 Warning is now in effect from 11 PM Thursday Evening through 9 AM Friday Morning for North-Central Rhode Island, Southern Worcester, Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, North-Central Bristol,North-Central Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts, Tolland and Windham Counties of Connecticut 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. These winds will cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and power line damage and power outages..
..A Wind Advisory is now in effect from 11 PM Thursday Evening through 9 AM Friday Morning for Hartford County Connecticut, Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, North-Central Worcester, North-Central Middlesex and Essex Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 55 MPH. These wind gusts could cause isolated pockets of tree and power line damage and isolated power outages..
..Some wind gusts up to 45-50 MPH are possible before 11 PM. Several areas have seen 45-50+ MPH wind gusts already in the region over the course of Thursday..
..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 remain:

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 are now posted for Western and northern parts of Southern New England due to wind gusts of up to 55 MPH and the isolated wind damage potential it brings.
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. This will be the last coordination message on this storm event as we shift into operations mode unless a significant update to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.
