Good afternoon everyone,

A winter storm will impact the area Wednesday night into Thursday.  We have upgraded to Winter Storm Warnings for much of our area, but kept a Winter Storm Watch for southern RI and southeastern MA, where more uncertainty exists for potential mixed precipitation. In addition, a Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for the eastern MA coast within a few hours of the high tide early Thursday afternoon.  Minor coastal flooding is expected, with a foot or two of inundation on normally vulnerable areas, along with some beach erosion.

Please see the attached briefing for the latest information. 

Thanks.
