Storm Coordination Message #2 – Saturday Night 3/9/24 Through Sunday AM 3/10/24 Multi-Storm Hazards

Hello to all…

..Strong storm system will bring a period of heavy rain and urban, poor drainage, river and stream flooding to much of Southern New England with rainfall amounts of around 1-2″, widespread pockets of minor to possibly moderate coastal flooding at the time of high tide depending on the timing of strong winds to overlap with the Sunday Morning high tide and strong to damaging winds to East Coastal Massachusetts and Southeast New England. Higher elevation snow across Northern Massachusetts and the East slopes of the Berkshires is expected to be below Winter Weather Advisory levels with a coating to 2″ of snow but this will be monitored..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 6 AM Sunday Morning through 2 PM Sunday Afternoon for Southern Bristol, Southern Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket Counties of Massachusetts, Southeast Providence, Eastern Kent, Bristol, Washington and Newport Counties of Rhode Island for minor coastal flooding at the time of high tide and the potential for a few road closures due to coastal flooding..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Eastern Norfolk, and Eastern Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts from 9 AM-4 PM Sunday for minor coastal flooding of shore roads at the time of high tide with a few road closures possible..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect from from 12 AM to 10 AM Sunday and is now in effect for Southeast Providence, Kent, Washington, Newport Counties of Rhode Island including Block Island Rhode Island, Essex, Southeast Middlesex,Suffolk, Eastern Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds 25-35 MPH with gusts up to 55 MPH and isolated higher gusts possible. These winds will likely cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages..
..A Flood Watch is now in effect for the entire NWS Norton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands due to 1-2″ of rainfall in a relatively short period of time causing an increased risk for urban and poor drainage flooding than expected this morning in addition to keeping rivers where river flood warnings are in effect in flood for a longer period of time with some expansion to small rivers and streams possible..
.. SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for Rain Gauge reports 1″ or more, any flooding from heavy rainfall, any snowfall measurements in the Northwest Massachusetts higher elevations, coastal flooding and wind damage potential overnight into Sunday Morning. Pictures and videos of storm damage and flooding can be sent as a reply to this email, via the WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated. This will be the last coordination message as we shift into operations mode.

Storm Coordination Message #1 – Saturday Night 3/9/24 Through Sunday Morning 3/10/24 Storm Hazards

Hello to all…

..Strong storm system will bring a period of heavy rain to much of Southern New England with rainfall amounts of around 1-2″, minor to possibly moderate coastal flooding at the time of high tide depending on the timing of strong winds to overlap with the Sunday Morning high tide and strong to damaging winds in parts of Southeast coastal New England. There is also the potential for higher elevation snow across Northern Massachusetts and the East slopes of the Berkshires. At this time, its expected to be below Winter Weather Advisory levels with a coating to 2″ of snow but this will be monitored..
..A Coastal Flood Watch is in effect from Sunday Morning through Sunday Afternoon for Southern Bristol, Southern Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket Counties of Massachusetts, Southeast Providence, Eastern Kent, Bristol, Washington and Newport Counties of Rhode Island for minor to moderate coastal flooding at the time of high tide and the potential for road closures due to coastal flooding..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Eastern Norfolk, and Eastern Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts from 6 AM-3 PM Sunday for minor coastal flooding of shore roads at the time of high tide with a few road closures possible..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect from from 12 AM to 10 PM Sunday for Barnstable and Nantucket Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds 25-35 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH and isolated higher gusts possible. These winds will likely cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. Areas outside of the wind advisory along East Coastal and Southeast coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island could see wind gusts of 40-45 MPH..
..The rainfall is expected to keep rivers where river flood warnings are in effect in flood for a longer period of time but any additional flooding beyond the rivers already impacted is low at this time except for brief urban and poor drainage flooding in typical locations in areas of heaviest rainfall..
.. SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for Rain Gauge reports 1″ or more, any flooding from heavy rainfall, any snowfall measurements in the Northwest Massachusetts higher elevations, coastal flooding and wind damage potential overnight into Sunday Morning. Pictures and videos of storm damage and flooding can be sent as a reply to this email, via the WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated.

Storm Coordination Message #3 – Wednesday Night 3/6/24 Through Thursday 3/7/24

Hello to all…

..Heavy Rainfall and potential flooding for portions of Southern New England for Wednesday Night into Thursday aggravating already wet antecedent conditions. No significant changes to the prior update..
..A Flood Watch remains in effect from Wednesday Afternoon into Thursday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Eastern Hampden, Worcester, Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island except for Block Island RI for 2-4″ of rainfall with isolated higher amounts. The recent wet antecedent conditions and additional heavy rainfall can result in flooding of urban and poor drainage areas, rivers and streams..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for Rain Gauge reports 1″ or more and flood potential for Wednesday Afternoon into Thursday Evening. Pictures and videos of flooding can be sent as a reply to this email, via the WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated..

A storm system is expected to bring heavy rain and potential flooding given recent wet conditions in the region. The headlines depict the current thinking with no major changes. Key factors remain:
1.) Extent of flooding which is dependent on whether the low end or higher end of the rainfall range is met and over how wide of area.
2.) There will be an axis of heavier rainfall in an area of widespread 2-3″ of rain but that axis could setup anywhere within the Flood watch area. This will be the area that has the best potential for flooding of urban areas, rivers and streams.

Storm Coordination Message #2 – Wednesday 2/28/24-Thursday 2/29/24 – Strong to Damaging Wind/Heavy Rainfall/Flash Freeze Potential

Hello to all…

..A Strong Cold Front will bring strong to damaging winds, a period of heavy rainfall with rain gauge totals of 0.50″-2″ with isolated higher amounts possible and rain changing to a brief period of snow before ending with a rapid temperature drop that could lead to a flash freeze of any standing water as the front moves through..
..A High Wind Warning is in effect from 7 AM Wednesday to 7 AM Thursday for Cape Cod and the Islands for sustained winds 25-40 MPH with gusts to 60 MPH. These winds will cause scattered pockets of tree and wire damage with power outages..
..A High Wind Watch is in effect from Wednesday Evening through Thursday Evening for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Northern Worcester, Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with wind gusts to 60 MPH possible. In this area, scattered pockets of tree and wire damage with power outages are possible in this area..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect from 7 AM Wednesday to 7 AM Thursday Eastern Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable Counties of Massachusetts, Southeast Providence, Kent, Bristol, and Washington Counties including Block Island Rhode Island for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 55 MPH..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect for Tolland, Windham Counties of Connecticut, Eastern Essex, Western Norfolk, Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk Counties of Massachusetts and Northwest Providence County Rhode Island for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH.
..A Wind Advisory is in effect for Hartford County Connecticut, Central Middlesex, Western Essex, and Southern Worcester Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH..
..In the Advisory areas, these winds could cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage with power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for rain gauge reports, measured wind gust 40 MPH or greater, wind damage reports, and any snow accumulation/icing/flash freeze conditions in the region. Pictures of storm damage can be posted as a reply to this message, via the WX1BOX Facebook/Twitter feeds and via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated..

A strong cold front will move through Southern New England Wednesday and Wednesday Night with very strong to damaging winds, heavy rainfall and a change to snow with a possible flash freeze on residual wet surfaces. The headlines depict the current thinking. Key factors include:

1.) In the southerly wind flow ahead of the front, the ability of strong winds to reach the surface depending on how warm temperatures are and any convective showers that allow the strong winds to reach the surface.
2.) As the winds shift to west, the rapid fall of temperatures and rapid rise in pressure could enhance the damaging wind potential and will bear watching.
3.) Flash freeze and any snow accumulation as the front passes for a period of slippery travel.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for rain gauge reports, measured wind gust 40 MPH or greater, wind damage reports, and any snow accumulation/icing/flash freeze conditions in the region. Pictures of storm damage can be posted as a reply to this message, via the WX1BOX Facebook/Twitter feeds and via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated.
