by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 04 Aug '21

04 Aug '21

All, *What has changed *- Flash Flood Watch in effect tonight into Thu morning for all of RI and eastern MA. Attached is the latest weather briefing regarding the potential for very heavy rainfall tonight into Thursday morning, along with significant urban/street/highway flooding and small river and stream flooding. We have high confidence on a swath of 1-3 inches of rainfall, with isolated amounts possibly up to 4 inches. However, the exact location of the heaviest rainfall remains uncertain, ranging as far east as southeast MA and Cape Cod to potentially as far west as eastern CT and central MA. The heaviest rainfall will occur overnight and begin to taper off toward the Thursday morning commute. However, flooded roadways with possible road closures is a possibility during the Thursday morning commute.

Good afternoon everyone, We wanted to give you a heads up on a system we're monitoring that will bring heavy rain and potential flooding issues to part of southern New England Wednesday night into Thursday morning. At this point confidence in flooding issues is on the lower side, as guidance has only recently shifted the axis of heaviest rainfall further west, away from Cape Cod and the Islands. We will have an update on the forecast and expected impacts by 5 AM tomorrow. If you have any questions, we can be reached earlier via box.operations(a)noaa.gov or 508-622-3280. Thanks!
