MD 0010 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
Mesoscale Discussion 0010
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1116 AM CST Sun Jan 07 2024
Areas affected…Portions of Southern New England
Concerning…Heavy snow
Valid 071716Z – 072015Z
SUMMARY…Moderate to heavy snow expected through the afternoon with
rain transitioning to snow near the coast.
DISCUSSION…Snow is intensifying across portions of southern New
England as the surface low intensifies over the Atlantic and
low-level wind fields strengthen. Snowfall rates of 1 to perhaps 2
inches per hour are expected through the afternoon before moving
offshore by this evening. Areas near the coast which have been
mostly rain thus far due to winds off the ocean will transition to
snow in the next few hours as winds shift more northerly as the
cyclone deepens/moves east. In addition, sustained winds around 15
mph with gusts of 25 to 30 mph may lead to some blowing and drifting
snow and additional visibility restrictions through the afternoon.
