Good Afternoon Everyone,

We are monitoring the potential for an impactful storm that could affect holiday travel Friday into Saturday. Please see the attached one-page briefing for details. Concerns include:

Damaging winds up to 60 MPH Friday from the south or southeast, and strong west/southwest winds up to 45 MPH on Saturday which could affect power restoration efforts.
Moderate coastal flooding along parts of both the east and south coasts during the Friday morning high tide. Moderate flooding refers to flooding 1 to 3 feet deep in more vulnerable locations which could require road closures.
Minor river flooding, especially along the mainstem Connecticut River. Minor flooding refers to flooding less than one foot deep, and is primarily confined to low lying areas.
Hazardous winds and seas for marine travel.

Additionally, much colder air is expected to follow Saturday and Christmas Day with wind chills in the single numbers and teens.

We will provide our next update Tuesday afternoon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat, or by phone at (508) 622-3280.

Thanks,

Joe Dellicarpini and Hayden Frank

NWS Boston/Norton
