Special Weather Statement
After a period of light rain/snow showers this afternoon and evening, temperatures will fall below freezing and into the 20s overnight. Light winds will limit how quickly wet surfaces can dry out and thus we expect areas of black ice to develop tonight and persist through the morning commute tomorrow. Travel with caution, especially on untreated surfaces and secondary roads.
Special Weather Statement
Patchy dense fog this morning resulted in poor visibility as low as one quarter mile. With temperatures also near freezing, this could lead to slippery spots on untreated surfaces in addition to the poor visibility. Elevated surfaces such as bridges are most likely to have icy spots. Travelers this morning should slow down and allow extra time to reach their destination safely. Remain alert for sudden drops in visibility and possible icy spots.
Cold Weather Advisory
* WHAT...Very cold wind chills as low as 20 below expected. * WHERE...Portions of eastern, northeastern, and southeastern Massachusetts and northern and southern Rhode Island. * WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to 1 PM EST Sunday. * IMPACTS...The cold wind chills as low as 15 below zero could result in hypothermia or frostbite if precautions are not taken.
Winter Weather Advisory
* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 3 and 6 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Portions of central, eastern, and southeastern Massachusetts and northern and southern Rhode Island. * WHEN...Until 7 PM EST this evening. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions.
Winter Weather Advisory

Coastal Flood Advisory
* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways (4.0 to 13.0 feet Mean Lower Low Water). * WHERE...The eastern Massachusetts coastline. * WHEN...Until 2 PM EST Monday. * IMPACTS...Roads remain passable. Shallow pockets of flooding less than one foot deep affect more vulnerable coastal roads along the North Shore from Salem and Gloucester to Newburyport. Rough surf will likely cause some splashover onto coastal roads around the time of high tide. Roads remain passable. Low lying areas and roads near Nantucket Harbor, including Easy Street, may experience pockets of shallow flooding less than one foot deep. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Sub-freezing temperatures and very cold road surfaces could allow storm surge to freeze, prolonging impacts and delaying drainage even after high tide.
