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.
