Storm Coordination Message #2 – Rainfall Saturday and Strong Wind Potential Saturday Evening into Sunday
Hello to all…
..Friday Evening brought a significant flash flood event to portions of Central and Eastern New England that resulted in a short fused upgrade to Amateur Radio Ops at NWS Taunton. Particularly hard hit were portions of Central Worcester County including the city of Worcester. Any flash flood pictures and videos can be sent to pics@nsradio.org and they will be sent to media, emergency management, the National Weather Service and other organizations with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated..
..Another round of rainfall today for the region with some localized heavier amounts though not as significant as what occurred Friday Evening in Central and Eastern New England will give way to cooler conditions and strong to damaging winds..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area starting at 8 PM Saturday Evening for the entire region for sustained winds of 15-25 MPH with gusts to 45-50 MPH. The advisory end time is 2 PM for the entire coverage area except for Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties where the advisory end time is 6 PM. Winds of this magnitude could cause isolated pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the rainfall conditions today and the strong wind conditions tonight into Sunday. This will likely be the only coordination message for this event unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Local Storm Report and Public Information Statement from yesterday’s significant flash flood event and the NWS Taunton Wind Advisory Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook..
