Special Weather Statement issued February 24 at 6:12PM EST by NWS Boston/Norton MA

Effective: Tue February 24, 2026, 6:12 PM
Expires: Wed February 25, 2026, 5:00 AM

A quick burst of snow will overspread the region from west to east between 5 and 8 am Wednesday morning. The snow will be short- lived and exit the coast by early afternoon perhaps even ending as a bit of rain. However...the burst of snow will coincide with part of the morning commute with a quick 1-2" of snow and localized 3" possible. Motorists should be prepared for a period of snow covered roads and reduced visibility for the morning commute. Temperatures will rise well above freezing by afternoon alleviating any issues.


Special Weather Statement issued February 25 at 2:09AM EST by NWS Upton NY

Effective: Wed February 25, 2026, 2:09 AM
Expires: Wed February 25, 2026, 10:00 AM

Light snow is expected to move through the region this morning, with accumulation up to an inch or two possible, particularly across southern Connecticut and the Lower Hudson Valley. The snow may briefly reduce visibilities, and coupled with areas of black ice, could result in hazardous travel conditions for the morning commute. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to use extra caution. Temperatures rise above freezing by mid to late morning.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
