[2023.05.16 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Red Flag Warning Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 May '23

16 May '23

Good evening, A very dry air mass with gusty north winds up to 30mph tomorrow along with little to no recent precipitation has prompted the re-issuance of a Red Flag Warning for Wednesday May 17th from 8am to 8pm While temperatures on Wednesday will be much cooler than Tuesday, we expect even drier conditions to develop with full sunshine and gusty north winds. For that reason, and in coordination with state forestry officials, the Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning in effect for all of Southern New England excluding Cape Cod and the Islands. Critical fire conditions are not expected at this time on Thursday as winds are anticipated to be lower compared to Tuesday and Wednesday. However, Min RH will still be around 20% No future updates are planned at this time. Thank You!

[2023.05.16 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Brush Fire Risk Today and Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 May '23

16 May '23

Good morning, Warm temperatures, gusty southwest winds and very dry conditions will set the stage for fire weather concerns today with the risk for brush fire development. The Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday for expected conditions today has now been replaced with a Red Flag Warning, which is in effect for most of Southern New England until 800 PM today. It is meant to bring awareness to the potential for brush fire development, issued in coordination with state forestry officials. Conditions favoring brush fire development will tend to be the most critical between late this morning to sundown. While temperatures on Wednesday will be much cooler than today, we expect even drier conditions to develop with full sunshine and gusty north winds. For that reason, and in coordination with state forestry officials, the Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday remains in effect for portions of Southern New England on Wednesday. Another update will be sent Wednesday morning to address the brush fire situation/Fire Weather Watch status for Wednesday, or sooner if conditions warrant. Thank You!

Good morning, Southern New England has not seen appreciable rainfall for the last several days.

Following attached graphic is the Fire Weather Watch area for greater awareness.

[2023.04.29 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Heavy Rain Late Sunday Afternoon And Sunday Night
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

Good afternoon everyone We just wanted to send out a quick email on the expected heavy rain along with the risk for a few embedded thunderstorms late Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches are expected, which may result in typical nuisance poor drainage street flooding. There is a low risk for localized areas to receive in excess of 3 inches of rain especially if any thunderstorms develop. If these localized higher amounts were to be realized some river and small stream flooding would be possible. The greatest risk for this would be across interior southern New England and perhaps far northeast Massachusetts. To sum up...currently we are expecting heavy rain late Sunday afternoon and night favoring mainly typical nuisance poor drainage street flooding. However...we wanted to make you aware that there is a low risk for localized areas to receive in excess of 3 inches of rain. If this were to occur some river and small stream flooding will be possible. In addition...any embedded thunderstorms that occur are not expected to be severe. The heavy rain will have departed the region well before the Monday morning commute. We have included the image of the expected rainfall through Sunday night. At this time...this is the only email we will be issuing on this event unless something significant changes. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

[2023.04.07 AM] NWS Boston Emergency Management Briefing
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Good morning, Due to the combination of dry conditions and gusty winds today, there is an elevated fire weather risk. A Red Flag Warning has been posted for most of southern New England. A Special Weather Statement has been issued for Cape Cod and the islands, where conditions are more marginal. The attached graphic shows the location of the Red Flag Warnings today. Looking farther ahead, dry weather is expected to persist through most of next week. Critically low daytime relative humidity is expected each day through Monday. The aspect which remains a concern will be wind speeds. Winds are not anticipated to be strong enough to elevate fire weather concerns significantly Saturday. However, gusty winds could develop Sunday and Monday. Daytime relative humidity may not be quite as low late next week, but it will be warmer.

by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 01 Apr '23

01 Apr '23

Good morning, We are still anticipating a line of storms this evening which have the potential to become strong to severe. Over all the messaging remains the same from our previous briefing, however we did modify the timing of when storms would arrive. This is highlighted in our latest one-pager which is attached below. Once again the main threat would be from damaging straight-line winds, with the secondary threats being hail and an isolated tornado. - Meteorologist Frank Nocera and Meteorologist Torry Gaucher If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, 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>

NWS - Boston - Twitter API limits to possibly affect NWS automated Tweets - March 31, 2023
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Dear Emergency Managers, Other Partners, and TV Mets, On Wednesday, Twitter announced that there will be a limit on the number of automated Twitter posts (tweets) that a given account can send utilizing their API service. This limit will be 1,500 per month and 50 per 24-hour period. When implemented, the new limit will impact every account that utilizes automated posting (e.g. this <https://twitter.com/NWSFortWorth/status/1640470316676972545>) of – but not limited to – watches, warnings, and advisories. NWS Communications is in contact with Twitter to convey the anticipated impacts on our operations and our followers and to seek clarification about whether and when this policy will apply to NWS. NWS Public Affairs has prepared a media holding statement to reply to media inquiries if the limit begins to affect our operations. Questions on this topic can be directed to nws.pa(a)noaa.gov. In addition, our headquarters is working on a national PNS (Public Information Statement) and will provide it soon. KEY MESSAGE: As always, communications via social media is a supplemental service provided by NWS to extend the reach of NWS information. Twitter feeds and tweets do not always reflect the most current information for forecasts, watches, and warnings and you should always have multiple means for receiving weather information and alerts. -- Glenn Glenn Field Warning Coordination Meteorologist NWS - Norton, MA (508) 622-3250 ext. 223 (or press 2 from menu) If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, 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>
