THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM THIS MORNING TO 1 AM EST THURSDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BETWEEN 10 AM AND 1 PM ACROSS THE WARNING AREA AND MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOWFALL RATES OF UP TO AN INCH PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. THIS WILL RESULT IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL THIS AFTERNOON...AND MOST LIKELY DURING THE LATE DAY COMMUTE. AS FOR SNOWFALL TOTALS...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 9 INCHES ARE PROBABLE...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE BY THE TIME ALL IS SAID AND DONE AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY ARE EXPECTED NEAR THE MASS PIKE...WITH THE LOWER AMOUNTS OF THE RANGE EXPECTED IN THE NORTH. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW FAR NORTH THE SHIELD OF HEAVY SNOW WILL PROGRESS. IF THE SYSTEM MOVES A BIT FURTHER NORTH THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...HEAVIER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS CAN BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER...A TRACK SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH WOULD LIKELY CONFINE THE HEAVY SNOW TO SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS PIKE. HOWEVER...WE HAVE MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THE EVENING RUSH HOUR WILL BE TREACHEROUS NO REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT SNOW AMOUNTS. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A WINTER STORM WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN AN AVERAGE OF 6 OR MORE INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED IN A 12 HOUR PERIOD...OR FOR 8 OR MORE INCHES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. TRAVEL WILL BE SLOW AT BEST ON WELL TREATED SURFACES...AND QUITE DIFFICULT ON ANY UNPLOWED OR UNTREATED SURFACES. && $$
