Snow, wintry combine anticipated with winter storm arriving Tuesday
Winter storm watches issued for elements of southern New England
THREE, TWO. GOOD MORNING. I’M METEOROLOGIST KELLY ANN CICALESE. WE ARE KICKING OFF DECEMBER WITH A WINTER CHILL AND OUR FIRST WINTER STORM ON OUR DOORSTEPS HERE. AS WE MOVE TOWARD YOUR TUESDAY. THAT’S OUR NEXT THREAT. SNOW, A WINTRY MIX, GUSTY WIND. ALSO IN THE FORECAST. AND AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND, ANOTHER SHOT OF A WINTERY MIX AS WELL. WIND WILL BE THE BIGGER FACTOR TODAY. WHILE IT IS DRY, WE’RE SEEING WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 30MPH, AND WHILE THAT’S NOT OVERLY STRONG, IT’S ENOUGH OF A BREEZE THAT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES THAT ARE ALREADY COOL, STRUGGLING TO HIT THE LOW 40S, IT IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT’S IN THE LOW 30S TODAY, SO THERE’S DEFINITELY A CHILL TO THE AIR AS YOU’RE HEADING OUT AND ABOUT. OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE BIG PATRIOTS GAME THIS EVENING. THAT 815 KICKOFF WILL FEATURE TEMPERATURES FALLING THROUGH THE 20S IN FOXBOROUGH. SO CERTAINLY CHILLY. WE FALL THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO THE LOW 20S FOR MOST OF THE SUBURBS, EVEN A FEW UPPER TEENS. SO IT IS EVEN COLDER OVERNIGHT. AND THAT IS GOING TO SET US UP FOR THAT POTENTIAL FOR SNOW AS WE MOVE INTO TOMORROW. IT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE WATCH INTO THE LATER MORNING HOURS. SO IF YOU’RE TRAVELING BEFORE SEVEN, IT’S MAINLY DRY. NO BIG ISSUES HERE. SNOW IS JUST STARTING TO ARRIVE BETWEEN 7 TO 10 AND THEN IT STARTS TO FILL IN EARNINGS EARNEST AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO I WOULD SAY THE WORST TIME TO TRAVEL IS REALLY AFTER 11 AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE START OF OUR EVENING. LET’S BREAK DOWN THE TIMELINE HERE. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLOCKBUSTER STORM BY ANY MEANS. AND SO YOU REALLY WANT TO WATCH CLOSELY WHERE THE RAIN SNOW LINE IS SETTING UP. THIS IS 7:00 FOR YOUR TUESDAY AND THE SNOW IS JUST STARTING TO PUSH IN FROM THE WEST. IF YOU’RE WEST OF N95, YOU’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT SNOW FALLING. BUT FOR BOSTON IT’S CLOSER TO NINE, PERHAPS EVEN 10:00 IN THE MORNING THAT THE SNOW ARRIVES. BUT LOOK AT THIS. WE’RE MOVING TOWARD THAT 10:00 HOUR, AND THIS PINK AND GREEN IS INDICATING RAIN AND SLEET MIXING IN. SO I DO THINK IT’S GOING TO BE MORE OF A SLUSHY TRAVEL THAT YOU’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS BY THE LATE MORNING, AND REALLY THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. HERE WE ARE AT NOON FOR YOUR TUESDAY. IT’S RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE COASTLINE, INCLUDING BOSTON. 95 TRAVELS LOOKING WET ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. THIS YELLOW INDICATING HEAVY RAINFALL AT THAT. MEANWHILE, AS YOU MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS, THE MONADNOCK REGION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, THESE ARE THE SPOTS THAT STAYS ALL SNOW THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE STORM, HENCE THE HIGHER TOTALS THAT ARE IN STORE FOR THEM. AS I’LL SHOW IN JUST A BIT, LET’S MOVE TOWARDS SUNSET FOR YOUR TUESDAY. SNOW IS INITIALLY TO THE NORTHWEST, HEAVY RAIN ELSEWHERE, BUT THAT AREA OF SNOW IS LIKELY GOING TO COLLAPSE SOME. SO THAT’S WHY I DO THINK AS YOU MOVE JUST NORTHWEST OF BOSTON, WE’RE GOING TO GET TO A REALLY TIGHT. GRADIENT WHERE WE SEE THESE SNOW TOTALS GOING FROM NEAR SIX TO EVEN NINE INCHES INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND THEN SLOWLY CUTTING DOWN. YOU CAN SEE IT’S A PRETTY SHARP CUT OFF HERE. AS WE MOVE OUT TOWARD PLACES LIKE LOWELL, WHERE YOU’RE IN THAT 3 TO 6 INCH ZONE, REALLY MANY AREAS IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS IN THE SLUSHY COATING TO PERHAPS AN INCH OR TWO AT MOST THREE INCHES. AND SO THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A BIG MAJOR STORM BY ANY MEANS IN TERMS OF SNOWFALL, BUT CERTAINLY A VERY MESSY ONE, ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING OUR FIRST STORM OF THE SEASON. LET’S KIND OF FOCUS IN HERE. LOOK AT THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE, THE TIP OF CAPE AND RIGHT INTO BOSTON, RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE OF THE SOUTH SHORE. YOU’RE LOOKING AT RAIN SLUSHY COATING TO AT MOST THREE INCHES AS YOU STRETCH OUTSIDE OF BOSTON THROUGH 128 AND MOVING TOWARD AREAS LIKE METRO WEST. BUT RIGHT ALONG 495. I DO THINK YOU START TO GET INTO THAT THREE INCH ZONE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO SIX AS YOU MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS AND THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS AS YOU TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY TO MONADNOCK REGION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS COULD SEE UPWARDS OF SIX INCHES OF SNOWFALL. LET’S TAKE IT TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THAT SHARPER CUT OFF. THIS POTENTIAL FOR SLUSHY COATING TO THREE INCHES. I THINK YOU’RE ON THE LOWER END OF THAT ZONE MOVING SOUTH OF BOSTON. AND THEN REALLY, IT’S ALL RAINFALL FOR MOST OF SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS MOVING TOWARD CAPE COD. BUT THE RAIN WILL BE HEAVY. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF, SO THAT IN ITSELF WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR TRAVEL AS WELL. AND THEN THROW IN THE FACT THAT WE’RE LOOKING AT THE STRONGEST WIND IN SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS, TOO. WE’RE MOVING TOWARD TUESDAY EVENING, SIX 7:00 WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 40MPH COULD GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO 50 AS WE MOVE TOWARD LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. STILL BREEZY HEADING INTO THE PRE-DAWN HOURS WEDNESDAY, BUT THE WIND WILL DIE DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, SO IT’S COOL AND WINDY, BUT AT LEAST IT IS DRY FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY HOLIDAY LIGHTS ON THURSDAY MAY FEATURE A FEW FESTIVE FLAKES. HERE WE ARE LOOKING AHEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MOVING BY WITH A COLD FRONT, AND AS THAT CROSSES THROUGH, THAT’S GOING TO BRING EVEN COLDER AIR AS WE MOVE INTO YOUR FRIDAY, I DO THINK WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANOTHER SYSTEM ON SATURDAY, THIS ONE, MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTH, IS FOLLOWING A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK, SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S A MESSY MIX, BUT A LIGHT POTENTIAL AT THAT. AND OF COURSE, WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATE
Snow, wintry combine anticipated with winter storm arriving Tuesday
Winter storm watches issued for elements of southern New England
Meteorological winter began Monday, and on Tuesday, some elements of Massachusetts might see a number of inches of snow.StormTeam 5 expects the storm to reach Tuesday morning and depart late Tuesday night time. The temperatures are anticipated to be milder than fashions beforehand indicated, lowering the potential snowfall quantities throughout the area.StormTeam 5 instruments: Map Room | Radar | Futurecast”We are actually seeing a milder pattern, even milder than what we’re earlier. So meaning numbers are down,” StormTeam 5 Meteorologist Kelly Ann Cicalese stated. “If you happen to’re in Boston and alongside the shoreline, rain remains to be going to be an element. However the place we’re seeing the largest change is alongside Route 128 and I-95, the place we’re now anticipating a slushy coating to an inch or two.” A winter storm watch is in impact within the state from Tuesday morning by way of late Tuesday night time for areas west of Route 128, together with elements of jap, central, northeastern and western Massachusetts.”North of Worcester is the place we get into the heavier snow potential. However you actually have to maneuver north of Route 2 up into New Hampshire to see upwards of 4 inches of snowfall,” Cicalese stated. Increased elevations within the Berkshires, southern New Hampshire and Vermont might see 4 to 7 inches. Areas additional east from Cape Ann and south to the Rhode Island border might see a coating to 2 inches. Alongside the coast, together with the Cape and Islands, and east of Interstate 95 are more likely to see simply rain. Video: Residents hit {hardware} shops forward of season’s first snow
