Winter Advisory Issued Through Thanksgiving Morning

A winter weather advisory has been issued for Norfolk County and will remain in effect until 7:00 a.m. Thanksgiving morning.

With a mix of rain and snow on the way, the National Weather Service is predicting heavy rains at times this afternoon with a period of snow and sleet in the evening.

It is anticipated that the heaviest precipitation will occur between 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Foxborough is expected to get between 1 and 2.5 inches of snow and sleet according to the NWS.

With the storm happening during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, the storm is expected to significantly impact holiday travel, making driving dangerous at times. Visibility in heavy snow is expected to be significantly reduced to a quarter of a mile or less according to the NWS.

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 result in slippery conditions 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.
