Expires 3:00 AM EDT on March 14, 2010


... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect until 3 am EDT Sunday...

The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until 3 am EDT
Sunday.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the high terrain along
the east slopes of the Berkshires... the Monadnocks of southern New
Hampshire and portions of the Worcester Hills in north central
Massachusetts.

Occasional snow... sleet... and freezing rain continues Saturday
evening and will continue to do so through the wee hours of the
morning before warmer air moves in later on. Any measurable frozen
precipitation is occurring at elevations above 1000 feet... but
especially above 1300 feet. A few inches of snow may accumulate on
the east slopes of the Berkshires at these elevations tonight.
Otherwise... for northern Worcester County and southwestern New
Hampshire... a mix of snow... sleet... freezing rain... and plain rain
should gradually change over to rain overnight. However... colder
surfaces may become slippery.

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.
