Severe Weather/Flood Coordination Message #1 – Tuesday AM 7/23/24 Severe Weather/Flood Potential
Hello to all…
..Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms and localized flooding of urban and poor drainage areas are possible over Cape Cod and the Islands potentially expanding elsewhere across Southeast New England from roughly Westerly to Providence to Newport and points east for overnight into early to mid Tuesday AM between 4-10 AM. Urban and poor drainage flooding is the primary threat but a secondary threat for localized wind damage or an isolated brief tornado and/or waterspout is a secondary threat..
..The key factors in this event is how far north rain and thunderstorms make it into the region. It could be centered over Cape Cod and the Islands, be further south across the islands or south of the islands or trend further north into the Westerly to Providence through Southeast Mass region. This will be monitored closely as the trend has been further north with this activity..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are possible early Tuesday AM for wind damage, flooding, rain gauge reports 1″ or more etc. depending on the track of this activity. This will be the only coordination message on this potential system for Southeast New England. Below are the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion and Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook..
