Wind Coordination Message #1 – Sunday 11/24/13-Early Monday Morning 11/25/13 Wind Event
Hello to all..
..Bitterly Cold Air for the month of November and Strong Winds Will Impact Southern New England Sunday into early Monday Morning after a few snow showers overnight Saturday Night..
..A Wind Advisory is now in effect from 7 AM Sunday Morning through 1 AM Monday Morning for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area for Sustained Winds 25-35 MPH with gusts to 45-50 MPH with isolated higher wind gusts possible. These winds may cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. Also, the dry conditions and strong winds will pose an increased fire weather risk despite the very cold temperatures that can deter fire weather conditions. Fire Weather Watches have been posted for Rhode Island and Northern Connecticut with an elevated Fire Weather Risk statement posted for portions of Massachusetts..
..Looking ahead, a coastal storm system may impact Southern New England on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving which is the busiest travel day of the year. It is far too early to speculate on precipitation type and impacts as solutions range from well offshore to an inside runner bring mostly rain to the region. As we get closer to Wednesday, future model runs should give us a better determination on potential conditions for Wednesday and coordination messages will be initiated as required for this storm event..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong winds throughout the day Sunday. Ops at NWS Taunton are unlikely at this time but will be monitored. Another coordination message will be posted Sunday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Wind Advisory Statement, Fire Weather Watch Statement, Special Weather Statement for Elevated Fire Weather Risk and Hazardous Weather Outlook..
