Good morning,
A storm moves up the coast from the Carolinas today, passing southeast of Nantucket Wednesday morning.
Potential hazards :
- Strong winds. Northeast winds will increase after midnight tonight, with gusts to 45 mph by daybreak Wednesday. Winds will shift from the northwest Wednesday morning and then diminish by midday. Areas most likely to be affected will be Nantucket and Cape Cod.
- Locally heavy rain. Rainfall amounts of one-half inch to one and one-half inches will fall on Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This will take place from around midnight to 9 AM Wednesday. Poorly draining locations in this area may experience brief flooding.
- Wet snow. Rain may cool the air enough to generate a period of wet snow in the hills of Central Massachusetts, Northwest Rhode Island, and Northeast Connecticut. The best chance for this will be from midnight to 9 AM Wednesday. Where snow occurs, it may accumulate a coating up to 2 inches with accumulations most likely on non-paved surfaces.
