After a winter storm brought over 6 inches of snow to many Massachusetts communities Saturday night, snow, freezing rain and high winds continue to be weather hazards on Sunday.
Many winter storm warnings and advisories remain in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Berkshire County can expect heavy mixed precipitation on Sunday, and total snow and sleet accumulations between 5 and 10 inches and ice accumulations between a tenth and three tenths of an inch are predicted, according to the weather service. The snow is expected to continue through the morning before transitioning to a wintry mix.
In the northern half and highest elevations of the rest of Massachusetts, heavy mixed precipitation with additional snow accumulations of one to three inches and ice accumulations between a tenth to four tenths of an inch are expected on Sunday, according to the weather service.
In the southern half and lowest elevations of the rest of Massachusetts, mixed precipitation and additional snow accumulations up to an inch and ice accumulations up to a quarter of an inch are predicted for Sunday, according to the weather service.
Roads -- especially bridges and overpasses -- will likely become slick and hazardous, the weather service said. Significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause power outages.
During this time, only travel if absolutely necessary, the weather service said. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight and food and water in your car in case of an emergency, drive slowly and cautiously and make sure there is enough space between your car and the car ahead of you to stop suddenly.
The snow is expected to transition to freezing rain and rain throughout the day on Sunday, according to the weather service. Precipitation is expected to stop around 9 p.m. in most of the state.
Gusty winds will become a hazard Sunday evening across Massachusetts, according to the weather service. All of the state is set to be under a wind advisory or high wind warning from 7 p.m. Sunday to 7 p.m. Monday.
Berkshire County is predicted to experience the strongest winds, at 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 65 mph, according to the weather service. Parts of Western and Central Massachusetts are expected to see 20 to 30 mph winds with gusts up to 60 mph, and Eastern Massachusetts is predicted to experience 15 to 25 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph.
The high winds are expected to blow down trees and power lines, and power outages are predicted, especially in Western and Central Massachusetts, according to the weather service. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles, so use caution if you must drive. It is recommended that residents remain in the lower levels of their homes during the windstorm and avoid windows.
Temperatures on Sunday are expected to reach the mid to upper 30s before dropping into the low 20s and upper teens overnight, according to the weather service. A sunny and windy Presidents Day with highs in the mid 20s is predicted for Monday, followed by lows in the mid to low teens overnight.
Highs in the low to mid 20s are expected across the state on Tuesday and Wednesday amid sunny skies, according to the weather service. Overnight lows in the single digits and low teens are predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday night.
