... Winter Storm Watch in effect from Wednesday morning through
late Wednesday night...
The National Weather Service in Taunton has issued a Winter Storm
Watch... which is in effect from Wednesday morning through late
Wednesday night.
This Winter Storm Watch includes the following counties... southern
Worcester... Norfolk... and Suffolk. This watch includes the city of
Boston.
Snow is expected to develop over the watch area Wednesday morning
or early afternoon. The snow may become heavy at times Wednesday
afternoon and continue into the evening. The Wednesday evening
rush hour may be quite messy with moderate to heavy snow falling.
Increasing winds could result in poor visibilities and some blowing
and drifting snow. The snow may be wet across the coast and bring
the potential for a few power outages. The snow should diminish in
intensity and taper off to flurries after midnight.
This storm is still at least 24 hours away and the exact track
remains a bit uncertain. If the system moves a bit further north
than currently progged... heavier snowfall amounts can be
expected. However... a track slightly further south would likely
confine the heavy snow to the immediate South Coast of New England.
The potential for 6 or more inches of snow exists across the
entire watch area. At this time... the highest probability of
reaching warning criteria will be along the South Coast.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Storm Watch is issued for the potential of accumulating
snow of 6 or more inches in a 12 hour period... or 8 or more
inches in a 24 hour period. Anyone traveling in the next 24 to
36 hours should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to modify
travel plans should winter weather develop.
