Area downgraded to Winter Weather Advisory, snow, wind, ice still expected
Our area has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory. We are still expected to see snow, ice, and wind, however.
According to the National Weather Service, mixed precipitation is expected throughout the area. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch expected. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph.
The Advisory is in place for Southern Bristol and Southern Plymouth Counties in Massachusetts and Bristol, Washington and Newport Counties in Rhode Island for mainly this evening through Sunday afternoon. The Advisory includes the cities of Fall River, New Bedford, Mattapoisett, Bristol, Narragansett, Westerly, and Newport.
Plan on slippery road conditions. Temperatures plunging into the mid 20s by early Sunday evening will result in a flash freeze and wet roads becoming icy. Any mixed precipitation will end as a period of snow Sunday afternoon. Travel may be very difficult at times tonight, and again Sunday afternoon and evening.
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Expect slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
