Storm Coordination Message #1 – Flood Potential Monday 6/10/13-Tuesday 6/11/13
Hello to all..
..Another storm system will bring another round of heavy rainfall tonight through Tuesday Morning. While the rainfall won’t be as heavy as with the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea, the prior rainfall Friday into Saturday Morning coupled with this renewed rainfall in the range of 1-2.5″ with isolated higher amounts renew the threat of flooding for much of Southern New England..
..A Flood Watch is in effect from Monday Night to Tuesday Night for all of Southern New England except for Cape Cod and the Islands for potential renewed river, stream and urban flooding..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will start at 7 PM EDT to monitor rainfall and any flooding issues..
At 355 PM, radar showed light to moderate rain moving over portions of Southern New England with an area of heavy rain noted over portions of Eastern Long Island, NY that will spread into portions of Southern New England overnight. This rainfall is associated with another storm system approaching the region. A Flood Watch has been posted once again from tonight through Tuesday Night for all of Southern New England except for Cape Cod and the Islands for the potential of renewed river, stream and urban flooding. While rainfall amounts won’t be as heavy as with the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea, the prior rainfall Friday into Saturday Morning coupled with renewed rainfall in the 1-2.5″ range with isolated higher amounts given elevated river, stream levels may result in a renewed threat of flooding for much of Southern New England.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will start at 7 PM EDT tonight to monitor rainfall and any flooding issues this evening. Depending on how the storm evolves, SKYWARN Self-Activation may be utilized during the overnight hours versus Ops. Tuesday’s situation will be evaluated pending how the rainfall evolves over the area and any potential for isolated severe weather over the region. Another coordination message will be posted Tuesday Morning depending on the evolution of the rainfall and the storm system.
