Storm Coordination Message #2 – Thursday 6/13/13-Friday 6/14/13 Storm Potential

Hello to all..

..Coastal Low taking shape to bring more heavy rainfall across much of Southern New England despite dry slot affecting the region early Thursday Evening. Strong winds will be possible in coastal locations as well..
..A Flood Watch remains in effect through Saturday Morning for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands..
..A Wind Advisory is now in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands through 11 AM Friday for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 45-50 MPH. These winds may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage. Areas outside of the wind advisory particularly along the coast may see isolated pockets of wind damage with wind gusts to 40 MPH due to strong winds coupled with wet soil conditions..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the overnight hours into Friday Morning since the dry slot precluded heavier precipitation Thursday Evening. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible Friday Morning depending on the evolution of the storm system..

After a dry slot formed limiting precipitation amounts during the day Thursday particularly in central and southern parts of the area, rain has rapidly filled in as seen on Doppler Radar as of 950 PM with a line of thunderstorms with heavy downpours that could affect Southeast New England during the overnight hours. Rainfall amounts have been from 0.50-1.50″ across northern and central parts of Southern New England with 0.50″ or less amounts across Eastern parts of New England. Given the rapid filling in of rainfall on radar, a general 1-3″ of rainfall is still expected with isolated higher amounts or an axis of heavier rainfall expected of up to 4 inches. With the recent wet weather pattern, a Flood Watch remains in effect through Saturday Morning for the entire NWS Taunton coverage area except for Cape Cod and the Islands. The rainfall may cause more minor flooding of rivers and streams as well as urban/poor drainage flooding. If an axis of heavier rainfall sets up over Southern New England, a moderate flood event could occur on some rivers and streams and more significant urban/poor drainage flooding.

A Wind Advisory is now in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands through 11 AM Friday for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 45-50 MPH. These winds may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage. Areas outside of the wind advisory particularly along the coast may see isolated pockets of wind damage with wind gusts to 40 MPH due to strong winds coupled with wet soil conditions.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the overnight hours into Friday Morning since the dry slot precluded heavier precipitation Thursday Evening. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible Friday Morning depending on the evolution of the storm system. A shortened coordination message will be issued Friday Morning by 9 AM EDT to status the storm.
