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.

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)..

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.

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)
