Another coastal storm system will affect the region with heavy rainfall and strong to damaging winds. The headlines depict the latest thinking and include the addition of a Flood Watch for the Fall River, New Bedford, Wareham area of South Coastal Massachusetts and Central and Southern Rhode Island. The strong to damaging wind potential still looks most likely across Cape Cod and the Islands with wind gusts possibly reaching 40 MPH elsewhere in Southeast New England. There will also be another pulse of strong to possibly damaging winds later Tuesday Evening through Wednesday Morning over parts of Southern New England. Wind Advisories may be posted for other parts of Southern New England for later Tuesday into Wednesday in addition to the first round of winds during the day Tuesday.
