Storm Coordination Message #1 – Thursday 1/2/14-Friday 1/3/14 Potential Coastal Storm Event
Hello to all..
..Happy New Year to All SKYWARN Spotters and Amateur Radio Operators..
..Potential exists for a significant coastal storm to impact Southern New England in the Thursday into Friday timeframe. It is too soon to get into specific details but a plowable to potentially significant snowfall is possible and at least minor coastal flooding and potentially strong winds are also possible. More significant impacts are possible depending on the track and intensity of the storm system. Message being sent earlier than normal given the New Year’s Day holiday..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible Thursday into Friday..
The potential exists for a significant coastal storm to impact Southern New England in the Thursday into Friday timeframe. At this time, it is a bit early to speak of snowfall amounts as we are more than 2 days away from potential storm impacts but the potential exists for a plowable to a potentially significant snowfall. Minor coastal flooding is possible at the time of high tide cycles Thursday into Friday in East Coastal Massachusetts along with strong winds at the coast as well. The potential exists for significant impacts from heavy snow, strong winds and coastal flooding but this will depend on the track and intensity of the storm which is still a bit early to determine at the present time. Given the New Year’s holiday and that some people will be headed back to work and school immediately after the holiday, it made sense at this stage given the latest weather model runs to put together a coordination message ahead of time to raise situational awareness on the potential storm situation. As we get into Tuesday Night and especially Wednesday (New Year’s Day), the potential impacts will be better understood.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible Thursday into Friday. The next coordination message on the storm situation will be posted late Tuesday Afternoon or early evening. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook:
