..The timeframe for this activity is between 2-8 PM Wednesday Afternoon and Evening. After 8 PM Wednesday Afternoon into late Thursday Morning additional convective showers and isolated non-severe thunderstorms with heavy downpours could cause a localized urban and poor drainage flooding issues with the greatest potential in the Connecticut, Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. A general 0.25-1″ rainfall is possible but localized rainfall of 1-2″+ will be possible in areas that get heavier downpours..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are possible today for any strong to isolated severe thunderstorm activity Wednesday Afternoon and Evening and for any localized flooding issues into late Thursday Morning. This will be the only coordination message unless a significant update to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.
