Leave a comment

Hello to all…

..Another storm system will bring more rain to the region and recent rainfall events increase the risk for flooding in the region. Strong winds and isolated pockets of wind damage are also possible if heavy rainfall can mix stronger winds down to the surface..
..A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage area from Thursday Morning through Friday Evening for the potential for urban and poor drainage street flooding and the possibility of a few smaller streams and rivers going out of their banks from total rainfall of 1-1.5″ with isolated higher amounts of more than 1.5″ possible..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor this storm event. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible if the threat for strong winds and/or flooding increases. Another coordination message will be posted by 1130 PM this evening. Below is the NWS Taunton Flood Watch Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook..
