Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 3:34 PM EST on February 10, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 4 am to 10 PM EST
Saturday...

The National Weather Service in Taunton has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for accumulating snow... which is in effect from
4 am to 10 PM EST Saturday.

* Locations... eastern Connecticut... Rhode Island and eastern
Massachusetts.

* Hazard types... snow.

* Accumulations... 2 to 5 inches of snow.

* Forecast uncertainty... there is a low probability of snowfall
reaching 6 to 8 inches from Fall River to New Bedford to
Plymouth including the upper cape and the Buzzard Bay
communities.

* Timing... the heaviest snow will fall from 10 am to 3 PM.

* Impacts... roadways will become snow covered and
slippery... especially secondary roads including exit and
entrance ramps.

* Winds... north 5 to 15 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* Temperatures... around 30.

* Visibilities... one quarter to one half mile at times.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory is issued when snow and/or ice is
forecast to develop in the affected areas... but accumulations are
expected to be light. Any snow or ice would make driving and
walking difficult... but not impossible... on untreated roadways
and sidewalks. When temperatures are below freezing... motorists
need to be especially careful on bridges and overpasses where
slippery spots can easily develop.
