Storm Coordination Message #1 – Monday Evening 11/26/18-Tuesday Morning 11/27/18 – Coastal Storm Potential
Hello to all…
..Yet another strong storm system to bring another soaking rainfall with urban and poor drainage flooding possible, strong to damaging winds, minor coastal flooding and even some snow and ice to extreme Northwest Massachusetts..
..A High Wind Watch is now in effect for East Coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands including the Metro Boston area for sustained winds of 25 to 35 MPH with gusts to 60 MPH. A Wind Advisory is now in effect from 9 PM Monday Evening to 4 AM Tuesday Morning for South Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island including Block Island Rhode Island for sustained winds of 15-30 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH. These winds will have the potential to cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect for East Coastal Massachusetts including Cape Cod and Nantucket Island from 10 AM Monday Morning through 5 AM Tuesday Morning for two high tide cycles, one at midday and one during the overnight hours. Coastal flooding will likely be largely minor with the most vulnerable shore roads flooded during high tide both at midday and overnight..
..A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for Western Franklin County Massachusetts from 8 PM Monday Evening through 10 AM Tuesday Morning for 1-5″ of snow and a trace to one-tenth of an inch of ice particularly at elevations around or above 1500 feet with wind gusts up to 35 MPH. Other higher terrain areas of Western Massachusetts are expected to be below Winter Weather Advisory levels but this will be monitored closely..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the various facets of this storm particularly tonight into Tuesday Morning..
Another strong storm system is expected to affect the region tonight into Tuesday Morning. The headlines depict the latest on the storm potential. Winds with this storm system have the potential to be stronger than the last one particularly along east and south coastal New England. Another 1-1.5 inches of rain for the area will add to already soaked grounds and may result in urban and poor drainage flooding. The lowest confidence portion of the forecast is any snow potential in Northwest Massachusetts as just a degree or two in temperature and slightly different timing in the changeover in precipitation will result in significant changes in snow totals in this area.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the various facets of this storm particularly tonight into Tuesday Morning. Another coordination message will be posted by 900 PM Monday Evening.
