Good afternoon folks, We wanted to send a head's up e-mail for those who have interests on the Connecticut River in MA and CT. Minor flooding is possible on the lower Connecticut River during early next week. Rainfall events during tonight, and Sunday night into Monday, are expected to bring a soaking rainfall to New England. One to 2+ inches of rainfall is expected thru Monday. A map from the Northeast River Forecast Center is attached, with the rainfall forecast for both events. *Warm temperatures over northern New England (VT/NH) will also result in substantial snowmelt.* Due to the combined rainfall and snowmelt, strong rises are expected on the lower Connecticut River. There is a risk early next week for minor flooding along the Connecticut River in MA and CT. Due to less snow pack in the headwaters of the Merrimack River, river flooding is not expected on the lower Merrimack River in MA at this time. The latest river stage forecasts in southern New England are available at this web page: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=box Sincerely, Nicole Belk NWS Boston/Norton MA 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>
