=== NWS Regional Summary - 500 AM EST SAT FEB 22 2003 ===
After mostly sunny skies and pleasant temperatures to end the week, southern
New England will see another winter storm bring rainy, and possibly icy,
weather to the region. The storm that brought flooding rains to the gulf
states, will move northeast today, passing across northern New England Sunday.
This will bring 1 to 2" of rain to our region. Much of this rain will be
absorbed into the snow, with some flooding of poor drainage areas possibly
late today and early tonight. The major rivers and streams are not expected to
see much runoff from this, thus river flooding is not expected. Because
temperatures will be in the 30s, the valleys could hold on to the cold air
long enough to create a longer period of icing. This icing will cause slippery
travel on untreated surfaces, and possibly some downed limbs causing scattered
power outages. These conditions should be confined to the far northwest corner
of Massachusetts, and southern New Hampshire. Other portions of inland
southern New England will also see a period of freezing rain. However
temperatures in those areas are expected to slowly climb into the mid and
upper 30s by afternoon. The rain will end late tonight and on Sunday, with
clearing skies expected Sunday night. The clearing skies will be accompanied
by blustery winds Sunday afternoon and evening. More cloudiness will move over
the region Monday as a weak low travels across the area.
