[2023.07.14 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Excessive Rain & Flooding Tonight, Again on Sunday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Good afternoon, Following is this afternoon's updated weather briefing regarding rounds of heavy rain and the related potential for flooding. There were overall no significant changes. However, with the weekend nearly upon us and with conditions favoring a potentially substantial amount of rain forecast for Sunday, we would ask to keep your situation awareness high for the Sunday and Sunday night timeframe for a renewed potential for rapid-onset flash flooding, urban and street flooding along with rises on larger rivers and smaller creeks and streams. For the rest of today and tonight, after a welcomed break this afternoon, we expect another round of heavy showers and thunderstorms developing over eastern New York to move into Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island tonight into the overnight. Ground and soil conditions are saturated and persistent downpours from thunderstorms may trigger flooding. Saturday looks to offer less rain and thunderstorm chances with anticipated rain chances appearing to be no worse than scattered. On Sunday, a slow-moving cold front will be interacting with an exceedingly humid & moisture-rich air. Multiple rounds of slow-moving showers and thunderstorms are possible, with a significant Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall forecast for Sunday. We expect rain to be the heaviest during the first part of the day in interior sections of Connecticut and Massachusetts, then anticipated to progress slowly eastward late Sunday into Sunday night into eastern sections of Massachusetts and Connecticut and all of Rhode Island. A Flood Watch may be needed again on Sunday and/or Sunday night. Attachments to this email include the following: - An updated one-page briefing discussing rainfall and flooding expectations. - Flood Watch Graphic valid through 12:00 AM Saturday. - Excessive Rainfall Outlook Graphics valid for both Tonight and for Sunday - Additional Forecast Rainfall for Tonight - Forecast Rainfall for Sunday Expect an update to this briefing by 600 AM Saturday. Thank You!

[2023.07.12 PM] NWS Boston Emergency Management Brieing
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 12 Jul '23

12 Jul '23

Good afternoon, all: We continue to have concerns for localized downpours sometime Thursday night into Friday. Given the amount of rainfall we've already seen across parts of southern New England, especially across interior southern New England, this could lead to exacerbated existing flooding as well as new flooding. We do not yet know exactly where this rainfall will be, nor the exact timing. We will be sending a more formal one-pager briefing once the graphic we wanted to use becomes available. However, we did want to get at least some word to you sooner.

[07.12.2023 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Rain and Potential for Flooding Concerns Thursday Night-Friday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 12 Jul '23

12 Jul '23

Good morning everyone, We wanted to send out a heads up email about another round of potentially heavy rain moving into the region Thursday night into Friday. While expected rainfall amounts would not normally be concerning, the saturated ground and already swollen rivers from the earlier rainfall will make it easier to see flooding issues under the heavier downpours. See the attached briefing for details and let us know if you have any questions.

NWS Boston: Update for Ongoing Heavy Rain -> River Flooding Event
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 10 Jul '23

10 Jul '23

All, Just wanted to send out a final update with regard to the heavy rainfall that we saw today. The last of the showers and thunderstorms will dissipate this evening, however all of the rainfall that fell will be working its way through rivers for the next few days. In particular, the Connecticut River is at most risk as all of the rain that has fallen across Vermont and New Hampshire comes downstream. Attached is a depiction of the flood categories that are forecast to occur at the various river gauge locations across southern New England as of 520 pm. Please refer to this website for the most up to date information: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=box In particular, the dark red colors indicate a forecast for reaching major flood stage. For the Connecticut River, flood stage will be reached later this evening closer to the VT border and later Tuesday morning down around Hartford. Major flood stage is forecast to be reached after midnight near the VT border and not until later Tuesday in the Hartford area. Please note that it won't be until the end of the week before the river falls below flood stage. These river forecasts will be updated later this evening and overnight by the forecasters at the Northeast River Forecast Center, and we expect to issue additional river flood warnings as those forecasts are updated. Again, please refer to the web page I included above for the most up to date information. Andy Nash & Bill Leatham.
