Post Storm Coordination Message #1 – Thursday 5/22/25-Friday AM 5/23/25 Nor’easter/Coastal Storm

Hello to all…

..Rare May Coastal Storm/Nor’easter brought a widespread swath of 3-7″ of rain across portions of Southeast Massachusetts with 1-3″ of rain with isolated higher amounts across the rest of Southern New England. This caused flooding of some urban and poor drainage areas and even a few small streams/rivers in the region..
..Wind gusts of 40-55 MPH with isolated higher gusts to 65-70 MPH occurred along East Coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands and some south coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island locations. This caused isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages and contributed to minor coastal flooding with a few shore road closures across Southern New England..
