A period of strong to damaging wind gusts are expected tonight into early Friday morning. *Headlines*: - High Wind Warning for easern Hampshire and Hampden counties MA & Hartford and Tolland counties CT from 9 PM tonight through 3 AM Friday morning - High Wind Warning for eastern Massachusetts & Rhode Island from 11 PM tonight through 6 AM Friday morning - Wind Advisory for Windham county CT and Worcester, Franklin, western Hampden and western Hampshire counties from 8 PM tonight through Noon on Friday - Storm Warnings for Narragansett Bay, Boston Harbor, Cape Cod Bay, and Massachusetts/Ipswich Bays in effect from 11 PM tonight through 6 AM Friday morning - Gale Warnings in effect for the remaining coastal waters through Friday *Details*: *Winds:* - *Timing and Peak Gusts:* - Strongest South winds will occur from 9 PM tonight through 8 AM Friday morning from west to east. - Expect gusts from 40-50 mph in the interior, with 50-60 mph possible across Rhode Island and eastern MA, including the Cape/Islands. - Another surge of strong west wind gusts to 40-50 mph are expected Friday morning, especially over the higher terrain in interior MA. - *Impacts:* Some tree damage with scattered power outages. - *Uncertainty:* There is still some uncertainty about how much of the strongest winds will mix to the ground. However, with temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s this afternoon, the probability for the strong winds to reach the surface is high. There will also be a narrow line of heavy showers along the front, which will increase the likelihood of strong to damaging winds. *Rain:* - *Timing:* Expect areas of showers tonight and Thursday, but the heaviest rainfall, possibly accompanied by a rumble or two of thunder, will occur across western and central MA and northern CT. - *Amounts:* 0.5 to 1.25 inches, heaviest across western Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties. - *Impacts*: Limited.

*** UPDATE *** High Wind Warnings Expanded Inland
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Good afternoon everyone, Just a quick heads up that we expanded the High Wind Warnings inland to include all of RI, eastern MA and parts of the CT River Valley including Hartford and Springfield. - Strongest winds (direction from the south) will occur between 10 pm and 4 am from west to east - Isolated power outages are expected in the warning area but more extensive wind damage and power outages are possible if temperatures warm to 70 degs or higher tonight, as this will increase the risk of strong winds aloft mixing to the surface - A line of showers and thunderstorms will move across the region tonight from west to east. This line will likely increase the threat for strong to damaging winds Another email will be sent by 5 pm with any additional details/updates.

NWS Boston: [2019.10.31 AM] EM Briefing for Strong to Damaging Winds Tonight into Fri Morning
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Good morning, Overall no significant changes to forecast expectations regarding an expected strong to damaging wind event expected for tonight into Friday morning in association with a passing strong cold front. While the wind threat remains the chief concern, a period of heavy rainfall may be enough to produce pockets of poor drainage flooding from clogged storm drains. *Changes with this update:* - *High Wind Watches converted to High Wind Warnings*: for most of Rhode Island and southeast MA up to the I-95 corridor from Providence to Boston, for Thursday night into Friday morning. *Details:* *Winds:* - *Timing and Peak Gusts:* - Strongest winds from the southwest will occur between midnight tonight and 6 am Friday from west to east. - Gusts 40-50 mph in the interior, with 50-60 mph gusts across Rhode Island and eastern MA, including the Cape/Islands. - Another surge surge of strong west wind gusts (up to 50 mph) is expected Friday morning, especially over the higher terrain in interior MA. - *Impacts:* Some tree damage with scattered power outages. Possible anywhere, greatest potential in the High Wind Warning areas. - *Uncertainty:* Strong winds will be present just off the surface, though how much of these winds will translate to the surface is still in question. If temperatures warm to 70 degrees Thursday night, this will increase the probability of getting strong to damaging winds to the surface. Also, a narrow line of heavy showers, possibly accompanied by thunder & co-located with the front, could help focus areas of strong to damaging winds. *Rain:* - *Timing:* Ongoing periods of showers to continue today. The heaviest rainfall, possibly accompanied by a rumble or two of thunder, will be between midnight and 3 am in western/central MA and northern CT; and 4-6 AM in eastern MA and RI. - *Additional Amounts:* 0.25 to 1.5 inches today into the overnight, heaviest interior. - *Impacts*: Limited. Isolated poor drainage flooding possible from leaf-clogged storm drains. - *Uncertainty*: Areas of thunder could enhance rainfall rates. Graphics pertaining to the warnings and advisories in effect, peak wind gusts in MPH, as well as additional rain totals (on top of the light rain amounts which occurred overnight), are attached.

If temperatures warm to 70 degrees Thursday night, this will increase the probability of getting strong winds to the surface.

Good morning, A strong frontal system is expected to approach our area later tonight into Thursday, producing periods of light rain starting late tonight. However, the period of greatest impact is from later Thursday night into Friday morning, with a period of strong to damaging winds across the South Coast and the Islands, and a period of heavy rain accompanying a cold frontal passage. *Changes with this update:* - *High Wind Watch Issued*: For southern Bristol and Plymouth Counties, Cape Cod and the Islands in Massachusetts, and for Block Island and Newport Counties in Rhode Island. In effect from late Thursday night through Friday morning. - *Gale Watch Issued:* For all coastal and offshore waters. In effect from 7 PM Thursday through 7 PM Friday. *Details:* *Winds:* - *Timing:* Winds increase markedly Thursday evening.

Elsewhere, peak winds will be in the 30-40 mph range. - *Impacts:* Trees and power lines may be downed, resulting in power outages in the High Wind Watch area. Difficult travel for high profile vehicles. - *Uncertainty:* Strong winds will be present just off the surface, though it is not clear how much of these winds will translate to the surface. A line of heavy showers co-located with the front could help focus areas of stronger winds near or potentially just outside of the current High Wind Watch area. After the front clears the region, there is a limited/low potential for west winds to produce sporadic/minor tree limb damage Friday morning in the interior. *Rain:* - *Timing*: Rain beings tonight. Period of heaviest rain, possibly accompanied by a rumble or two of thunder, is mainly overnight Thursday night into Friday in line with the cold front. - *Amounts:* Around 1 to 1.5 inches. - *Impacts*: Limited. Isolated poor drainage flooding possible from leaf-clogged storm drains. - *Uncertainty*: Areas of thunder could enhance rainfall rates, though this potential would be mainly southeast of I-95.
