September 6, 2016 Rob Macedo Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine brought strong to damaging winds and isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages to Southeast Massachusetts, East Coastal Massachusetts to the east of the I-95 corridor, South-Central Rhode Island and Eastern Connecticut. Some beneficial rainfall was received ranging in the 0.10-1.00″ range with isolated higher amounts over Nantucket Island. Beach erosion and spotty coastal flooding occurred in Southeast New England with some boats run aground and knocked off moorings in more open water ways. Conditions were similar to some of our Fall or Spring nor’easter type systems..
..Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine made its slow northward and northwestward movement and is now tracking slowly westward as it makes a loop to the south of Southern New England and to the east of the mid-atlantic states. Hermine is still expected to linger to the south of Southern New England and to the east of the Mid-Atlantic Coast through Thursday Morning before moving away from the region or even dissipating later Thursday into Friday Morning..
..The Tropical Storm Warning for South Coastal Rhode Island and South Coastal Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands – from Sagamore Beach Massachusetts Through Watch Hill Rhode Island has been cancelled. The strong to damaging wind threat has ended. Additional rainfall between 0.10-1″ is possible in Southeast New England. Any additional rainfall will be beneficial in nature..
..A High Surf Advisory is in effect for East and South Coastal Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands through 6 PM Tuesday. A high surf advisory could continue for the next couple days and remain a concern along with rip currents through Thursday of this week along coastal area beaches and extreme caution is advised for those headed to area beaches through Thursday..
..Any post storm damage photos or coast line photos from Monday can be sent as a reply to this message, sent via our WX1BOX Facebook or Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org and the pictures and information will be shared with local and state emergency management, non-governmental organizations and the media with credit given to the SKYWARN Spotter or Amateur Radio Operator for the information. Thanks to all who provided damage reports and criteria spotting information for Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine during the day on Monday..
..This will be the last Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine Coordination Message and last message regarding the continued high surf and rip current threat that will likely continue through Thursday of this week. A Hermine storm summary message will be posted once issued by NWS Taunton. Below is the NWS Taunton Local Storm Report, Public Information Statement, WX1BOX Facebook Album (which will be updated later today), Final Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine Local Statement, High Surf Advisory Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and NHC Advisory information on Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine..
