Hello to all....

....A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for all of Southern New
Hampshire, Massachusetts except for Cape Cod and the Islands and 
Berkshire
County Massachusetts, All of Rhode Island and Northern Connecticut for
Tonight through Midday Monday. The Winter Storm Watch Has Been 
Cancelled....
....A Wind Advisory May Be Needed particularly for Cape Cod and the 
Islands
Monday Evening with very cold Wind Chills Possible Region Wide....
....SKYWARN Spotters and Amateur Radio Operators are asked to 
self-activate
and report snowfall totals every 2" and final amounts into NWS Taunton 
as
needed for this event....

A Winter Weather Advisory has replaced the Winter Storm Watch and the
advisory is in effect for much of Southern New England for Tonight 
through
Midday Monday. Amounts will range from 3-6" across much of interior 
Southern
New England with 2-4" of snow from the Boston-Providence corridor south 
and
east through Southern Rhode Island and South Coastal Massachusetts. 
Lighter
amounts of 1-3" are expected over Cape Cod and the Islands where enough 
rain
at the start should limit snowfall amounts in these areas. The Monday
Morning commute will be impacted by this snowfall so allow plenty of 
time to
reach your destination tomorrow morning.

A Wind Advisory maybe needed particularly for Cape Cod and the Islands
Monday Evening. This situation will be monitored as the strongest winds
could just impact Cape Cod and the Islands or it could impact high 
terrain
locations or other parts of Southern New England. Also, the potential 
for
very cold Wind Chills are possible across the region on Monday with the
possibility of blowing and drifting snow as well.

SKYWARN Spotters and Amateur Radio Operartors are asked to 
self-activate and
report snowfall totals every 2" and in particular final snowfall 
amounts
into NWS Taunton as needed for this event. Hams and interested non-ham
SKYWARN Spotters are asked where possible and convienent to forward 
reports
either via radio where some coordinators may informally monitor or in
particular email the reports to me or utilize the spotter line. This 
will
most likely be the last coordination message issued on this storm 
unless a
significant change in the forecast is noted or Wind and/or Wind Chill
Advisories are posted. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory
Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook:
