A strong storm system that is responsible for bringing a major winter storm/blizzard conditions to the midwest US will affect our weather with strong to damaging winds and a period of heavy rainfall as Southern New England stays on the warm side of the storm system. A brief period of snow/sleet/freezing rain is possible in Northwest Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire overnight but accumulations should be less than an inch or two and quickly change over to rain. A period of heavy rainfall is expected with possibly even some convection possible and this heavy rainfall may result in brief urban and poor drainage flooding.
Of more concern is the potential for strong to damaging winds over much of Eastern New England. A High Wind Warning is now in effect until 4 PM Friday Afternoon for Cape Cod and the Islands including Block Island RI for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts of 55-60 MPH.
