More emphasis on the ice, but there is snow happening as well. A couple of spots and i am following your reports on twitter. Always good to have ground troops. The colors on the radar denotes the precipitation in each region and mixing going on. You can find the little towns in between the bigger reports. For instance, in gardener. Heavy sleet right now which puts new northern Worcester County in this purple which is supposed to be sleet and lines up preas well. I appreciate that report from paul. In New Hampshire, in New Hampshire. Changed to sleet and now the sleet mixing back to snow at 25 degrees in salem, New Hampshire. Snow and sleet in worcester heavy sleet. And boylston. Ra was on twitter. Thank you for that report. From portsmouth to manchester the drive all the way with heavy sleet. We are getting reports of northwest of boston. Up to an inch of sleet and snow and steady snow on that branch of 128. I can tell you on our branch of 128 south of the pike, it is not steady snow.
Hampering the roadways, right, sarah . Yeah, were noticing the temperatures, the cold conditions across Northern New England just draining into southern areas. Temperature now just blow below freezing in new bedford. Still in the 40s in the outer cape but across new england, despite the storm system moving on out of here, weve got a lot of lowlevel moisture trapped and that means weve got a lot of clouds in areas of drizzle and mist, and with temperatures in the 20s, that mist and drizzle freezing on contact to cars, to streets, to the sidewalks, so well be dealing with icy and slippery conditions. I have to admit we have a freezing rain advisory until midnight. And so any slush from the day possibility. Through the earlymorning hours, but by 8 00 were starting to see some improvement and by lunchtime tomorrow, weve got drier weather for a short time. Im already tracking our next chance of rain. Ill let you know when that arrives coming up. To fox 25s ted daniel now whos been covering
Kevin ault problems caused by ice and another report from south shore, going back to sleet, she wants snow but going to have to deal with ice pellets because not going back to snow at this point, rain from time to time sleet and brighter colors, it can be heavy rain but oftentimes these situations it is sleet being picked up by doppler radar. Live Storm Tracker seeing some of that out there and wanted to go to the north there, brookline, New Hampshire, kind of in a hole right now, but you had snow around and report right here who told me temperatures sitting at 24 , 3 inches of snow, sleet mixup that way, one to three inch band so please dont get any more and all freezing rain and untreated at least where she is right now so in the area orange to peach color, that is where freezing rain is most likely right now. Get into the purple, more likely sleet and then rain and snow to and icy air right now and thats the big problem. Shiri watch out for slick spots around boston, temperatures th
Sara i am sara underwood. A Winter Weather advisory is up for everyone. This is the first measurable snow of the season, the biggest concern is the ice. Team coverage to get you through sloppy commute and fox25 chief meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz is teaming up with shiri spear tracking the changes as they happen this morning. Kevin, welcome. Meteorologist great to be here. Some places rain and other places mixture coming down. Bottom line, Winter Weather advisory for everyone and south coast. Dominantly rain. The rest will have to deal with ice and snow and becomes a winter storm warning the farther north you go and winter storm watch in place for western massachusetts. This is the scene the last six hours that system has moved on in. This is not a huge winter storm by new england standards as far as snowfall. We have been emphasizing all along not the snow but the ice that you need to be most take a tour around with your live storm doppler radar. Mostly rain expected to the south. Yo
North and west. The ocean water temperature is 47. So as the winds become more easterly, low levels will warm along the coand warmer air coming in at higher levels. Before that can happen, we have a Winter Weather advisory in effect until 1 00, until 7 00 tomorrow evening far to the north and west with an icing potential. Radar is picking up some snow. Most is not reaching the ground. It is reaching the ground now in north adams in albany, new york and moving eastward. Notice you go from snow to ice to rain and that will be the progression here. So lets give you an idea of the timeline. Notice it overspreads the region around 1 00. This is a narrow band of light to very light snow. It picks up in intensity. This is all sleet. Were going to have more sleet than we are snow during the course of the morning commute and that could be tricky in itself. By the end of the morning commute, then in boston were shifting over to rain, but well north and west there could actually be an icing probl
