THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN CONNECTICUT...
CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS...EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...NORTHEASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS...SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS...
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...NORTHERN RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHERN RHODE
ISLAND.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO PASS WELL WEST OF NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY...WHILE ANOTHER WEAK LOW FORMS AND MOVES ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BRING A SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION
EVENT TO THE REGION.
AT THIS TIME...THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL AS MAINLY RAIN
ACROSS EAST COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS INTO RHODE ISLAND AND NORTHEAST
CONNECTICUT. TEMPERATURES ACROSS FAR INLAND AREAS COULD BE BELOW
FREEZING AS THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS VERY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY MORNING...WHICH MAY MEAN A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET...FREEZING
RAIN AND EVEN SOME SNOW. IT DOES LOOK LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL RISE
ENOUGH TO CHANGE ANY MIXTURE TO RAIN. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL CLOSE TO OR JUST BELOW FREEZING EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT...MAINLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS INTO THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY...SO THE PRECIPITATION WILL
BECOME A WINTRY MIX AGAIN. THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN THROUGH AT LEAST THE EARLY PORTION OF SATURDAY NIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY RISE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR AN ICING EVENT FOR THE FAR INTERIOR
SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE COULD ALSO BE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND COASTAL AREAS SATURDAY NIGHT...WHICH COULD LEAD TO AREAS
OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
