[2024.03.27 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Additional Rainfall to renew River Flooding Concerns
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Good afternoon, A rainmaker will impact southern New England starting tomorrow morning, with a long fused 1-2" of rain expected for much of the region. Up to 3" of rain is possible across eastern MA and portions of RI. Given very wet antecedent conditions, should the above forecast rainfall totals verify, river flooding concerns are likely to be renewed across RI and portions of SE MA. Concerns are particularly elevated for the Pawcatuck, Pawtuxet, and Wood Rivers in southern and central Rhode Island. Thus, a flood watch has been issued for central and eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and northeastern Connecticut. Kind regards, Matt Belk, Bill Leatham, and Kristie Smith If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

NWS Boston: INFORMATION - New website for River forecasts
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

All, This morning, the NWS has put into operational status the National Water Prediction Service (NWPS) at this URL: https://water.noaa.gov/ The NWPS is the replacement for the AHPS system which was where users could access the latest observations and forecasts for river points as well as tide gauges. NWPS includes all the functionality of AHPS, plus more -- including access to information from the National Water Model. The NWPS also allows much more user interaction and the ability to overlay warning and analysis data. Please note that the links on our website under the "Rivers & Lakes" menu option will soon be updated to the NWPS webpage. Links that you might have that go to legacy AHPS pages will start to auto-direct to NWPS until late May, however after that time will cease to work. Resource information about the transition and NWPS can be found here: User's Guide to NWPS <https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/fce72e9168a7402dbfc49fc5b49cee2e> (Storymap format) NWPS Fact Sheet <https://www.weather.gov/media/wrn/Water-Resources-Factsheet.pdf> NWPS API <https://api.water.noaa.gov/nwps/v1/docs/> National Water Model <https://water.noaa.gov/about/nwm> Changes to URLs <https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2023_24/scn24-29_nwps_url_ch…> Andy Nash If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

Good morning, Here is our latest one pager briefing for the storm which will be impacting the region through this evening. The following changes have been made since the last briefing. - Winter Weather Advisory expanded across all of northern CT and into southern Worcester county for light ice accumulation this morning - Ice accumulation increased to one tenth to one quarter inch across the Berkshires and Worcester Hills - Wind Advisory issued for the southern CT/RI, SE MA and Cape/Islands for a period of south wind gusts to 50 mph late today and this evening - Coastal Flood Statement issued for the risk of very minor flooding along the upper reaches of Narragansett Bay for the evening high tide. There were no changes to expected rainfall with widespread 2 to 3 inches and locally higher amounts. The heaviest rain will fall between 4 pm and midnight. It appears the axis of heaviest rainfall will set up across CT, RI and possibly into portions of southeast MA. Concerns continue for river flooding, especially the Wood, Pawcatuck and Pawtuxet Rivers in RI. We will also need to monitor the Taunton River in southeast MA closely. Thanks.

Good afternoon, Attached is our latest briefing regarding the upcoming storm tonight into Saturday night. Confidence is increasing for an impactful storm, mainly from the rainfall and subsequent flooding. Ice accumulations have also gone up slightly across central and western MA into portions of northern CT. We are still trying to pinpoint the exact location of the heaviest rainfall, but it will most likely be across eastern CT, RI and portions of southeast MA. The heaviest rainfall should still be some time Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening. Concerns continue for river flooding, especially the Wood, Pawcatuck and Pawtuxet Rivers in RI. We will also need to monitor the Taunton River in southeast MA closely. No changes to ongoing weather hazard headlines at this time. We will send that graphic shortly.

[2024.03.22 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Heavy Rainfall and Possible Flooding
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Good morning, Here is the updated briefing for the storm which will be impacting the region late tonight into Saturday night. Heavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts will bring the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding as well as some river flooding, especially Saturday afternoon and night. Latest forecast information suggests the axis of heaviest rain will set up south of the MA Pike, especially across CT and RI. The greatest risk for river flooding is in Rhode Island, particularly the Pawtuxet and Wood River basins. In addition, a period of wintry precipitation on the front end late tonight will bring minor snow and/or ice accumulation for interior MA into portions of NW CT. A Flood Watch has been issued for areas along and south of the MA Pike, including CT, RI and eastern MA. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for central/W MA into NW CT for the combination of light snow and/or light ice accumulation. In addition to the one pager briefing, we have attached various graphics for snow and ice accumulation, expected rainfall amounts and flood watch and winter weather advisory areas. Thanks.

Good afternoon, Here is our latest briefing regarding the potential for heavy rainfall Friday night into Saturday night. The heaviest rainfall looks to most likely fall across our portion of southern New England from Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. There remain questions about where the axis of heaviest rainfall should be. We hope to have a better idea on that axis over the next 24 hours. Besides the rainfall, there is also the possibility of some light snowfall and icing, mainly across the higher terrain as this storm begins within southern New England.
