[08.10.2023 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Rain & Strong Storms Possible Tonight into Fri AM
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Good afternoon, all: The overall threats of strong to severe thunderstorms and flash flooding have diminished for this evening into the early morning hours. It now appears that the greatest risk will pass by across northern New England, as well as to our south through the Mid Atlantic. While the overall threat is lower, we will continue to monitor the southern coastal waters and towards the south coasts of RI and MA. Those are the areas of greatest concern at this time. We will continue the Flood Watch for now, and continue to monitor the showers and thunderstorms just arriving in southern New England. Should the current trends continue, it is likely this watch will be cancelled early, sometime later this evening. This will be the last briefing for this event, unless there is a significant change.

Good morning, There have been no significant changes to the forecast for tonight into Friday. Please find some key messages below. - There remains the potential for heavy rainfall, strong thunderstorms, and an isolated tornado this evening into early Friday. - The greatest risk for heavy rainfall remains across eastern MA and RI. Flood Watch remains in effect through early Friday. - The greatest risk for an isolated tornado will be over The Cape and Islands. One small change to note is that The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the 2% tornado probability a bit further west into CT (see attached graphic). We'll likely provide one final briefing this afternoon before the event to notify you of any potential changes to the forecast. Thank you and have a great day, Rob Megnia and Glenn Field If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[08.09.2023 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Rain & Strong Storms Possible Thu Night into Fri AM
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Good afternoon everyone, Attached is our latest one page briefing regarding the heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm risk for Thursday night into early Friday morning. Any of these storms may produce heavy rainfall, which may lead to localized flash flooding. To address this risk we've hoisted a Flood Watch where the potential is greatest. There is also a risk of isolated damaging wind gusts and a brief tornado or waterspout is possible as well. However, our confidence is lower on the severe thunderstorm risk as it depends on the track of the system. Thanks, Bill Leatham, Kristie Smith and Andrew Loconto If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[2023.08.08 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Flood Watch Issued Until 12 AM Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Good morning, There is growing confidence that localized areas in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island may experience flooding due to torrential rainfall this morning and early afternoon, with rainfall between 1.5 to 2.5 inches, with isolated higher amounts exceeding 3 inches possible. As a result, we have issued a Flood Watch for eastern Massachusetts (excluding Cape Cod and the Islands) and all of Rhode Island (excluding Washington County). The Flood Watch is in effect until 12 AM Wednesday, see the attached image below. Additionally, this morning, there is still a low threat for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms that could produce damaging wind gusts, along with a brief tornado or waterspout. Thank you, Rob Megnia and Torry Dooley If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[2023.08.07 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Strong Storms & Heavy Rain Tuesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

Good Afternoon, Please find our latest briefing attached regarding severe weather tomorrow (Tuesday). We are anticipating two possible rounds of convection, with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes possible during the early morning to midday hours and again surrounding the afternoon commute. The most significant change with this update is the uncertainty regarding the strength of afternoon storms; such that if storms are stronger in the morning, and cloud cover sticks around for the better portion of the day, the afternoon and evening storms will trend weaker. The opposite will be true if the morning convection does not materialize. Additionally, the Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center keeps us in a marginal risk tomorrow. This will be the final update unless deemed necessary by the overnight shift, as impacts from this system will likely begin prior to 6AM. Kind regards, Bill Leatham, Andrew Loconto, and Kristie Smith If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Good morning, Please be advised that there is a possibility of isolated strong to severe thunderstorms throughout southern New England by daybreak on Tuesday. Our main concern is the timing, as it could coincide with the Tuesday morning commute. These storms may produce heavy rainfall, leading to urban flooding and isolated damaging wind gusts. Additionally, there could be a brief tornado or waterspout. Please find attached our one-page briefing, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you, Hayden Frank and Torry Dooley If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat, or at the following: National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>

[2023.08.03 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Isolated Severe Weather/Flooding late Friday & Friday Night
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

Good afternoon everyone, Quick update on the active weather expected tomorrow. The main change with this update is a lessened flash flood risk. The Excessive Rainfall Outlook has been lowered from Slight to Marginal (level 1 of 3). The main concern for flooding would be if any training storms (regenerating over the same place continually) happen to set up over an urban area. Otherwise storms in the late afternoon/evening may produce damaging straight-line winds and hail. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Bryce Williams and Kristie Smith National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>
