Good afternoon everyone, A quick hitting storm system will move across the region tonight into Sunday morning with the following impacts - Strong southeast winds gusting up to 55 mph, highest winds Cape Cod & Cape Ann, where power outages are possible. A wind advisory has been posted for the coastline of MA & RI - These strong winds combined with high astronomical tides will result in minor tidal flooding (minor inundation & coastal erosion) during the time of high tide Sunday morning & early afternoon. A coastal flood advisory has been posted for the entire coastline of MA and RI. - Heavy rain with 1-2" inches of rainfall, yielding minor street/highway flooding tonight. - With rivers and streams already swollen from heavy rain earlier this week, renewed minor flooding is possible across CT, RI and MA. Therefore, a flood watch has been posted for most of the region.

Good afternoon everyone, Attached is our latest and final update on the heavy rain tonight into Thursday. *There have not been any significant changes in our latest update from the last briefing.* We still anticipate a widespread 1-3" of rain with isolated spots of 4"+ possible. This may result in flooding of urban areas, basement flooding, along with rivers and streams. The Thursday morning commute will likely be impacted, especially the first part of it. We've also attached the latest Northeast River Forecast Center (NERFC) forecasts for the Pawtuxet River at Cranston, RI and the Wood River at Hope Valley, RI. For additional locations please visit: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=box Again, this is anticipated to be the final briefing for this event, unless there are significant changes to the forecast. Thanks, Bill Leatham, Torry Dooley and Hayden Frank If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

06 Mar '24

Good morning everyone, Attached is an update on the threat of heavy rain and potential flooding for late today into Thursday morning. We continue to expect widespread 2-3" of rainfall with a swath of up to 4" possible. These rainfall totals may result in minor to moderate river flooding as well as urban and poor drainage flooding. *There have been no significant changes to the forecast since the last briefing. * In the ensemble river forecast graphics attached, here are the trends since the last update: Pawtuxet River at Cranston, RI: Median flood forecast (blue) has trended *higher** Wood River at Hope Valley, RI: Median flood forecast (blue) has trended *higher** **These probabilistic hydrographs show the range of possible outcomes. If the higher rainfall totals materialize, the higher river level probabilities will be realized. Conversely, if less rainfall occurs, the lower river level probabilities will likely be verified.* If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Good afternoon everyone, The threat of heavy rain continues for late Wednesday, Wednesday night and lingering into Thursday morning. A widespread 2-3" of rainfall is likely with a swath of up to 4" possible. These rainfall totals may result in minor to moderate river flooding as well as urban and poor drainage flooding. What has changed from our last briefing: - *The flood watch has been expanded from southeast MA and RI into most of CT (Greater Hartford-Springfield area) and central-eastern MA, including Greater Boston area.* Graphics included - flood watch, ensemble river forecast and hydrographs for the Pawtuxet River at Cranston, RI and the Wood River at Hope Valley, RI. These probabilistic hydrographs show the range of possible outcomes. If the higher rainfall totals materialize, the higher river level probabilities will be realized. Conversely, if less rainfall occurs, the lower river level probabilities will likely verify. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
