by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Good morning, Above normal temperatures in the upper 80s to mid 90s and rising humidity levels will result in elevated heat indices starting Monday and continuing into at least Wednesday. While Monday will feature rising heat indices, the most oppressive period appears to be Tuesday and Wednesday. Heat Advisories could become necessary pending stronger confidence in occurrence and coverage of 95-99F heat indices. Based on Sunday morning's forecast, attached graphics depict the latest forecast maximum heat index for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. *Confidence: *Overall*, *moderate to high. It will be a very warm and muggy workweek, though there still is uncertainty on exact heat index values. It is possible elevated heat indices may continue into Thursday, but more clouds and rain cast greater uncertainty. Thank You!

by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 02 Aug '20

02 Aug '20

Good afternoon, You will find attached the latest update on Tropical Storm Isaias. We are still expecting Isaias to impact Southern New England as a low-end tropical storm. *Threats:* - Potential for 3-4" heavy rain with localized 6" in Western MA and Northern CT, especially over the Berkshires. Biggest risk is urban flooding but if rainfall exceeds 4", small stream flooding could also occur. Lesser rainfall is expected in Eastern MA and RI. - Strong winds with gusts 40-50 mph and low risk of 60 mph gusts could lead to downed trees and power outages. - Dangerous rip currents and minor coastal flooding, especially for South-facing beaches. *Timing:* Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. However, initial bands of moderate rainfall could impact Western MA as early as Monday evening into Tuesday morning. *Confidence:* Confidence is moderate. However, a slight shift in track will have significant implications on the axis of heavy rain and tropical storm force winds.
