We continue to forecast the potential for damaging wind gusts and power outages on Monday. The greatest time of concern is late Monday morning into early Monday evening. *Changes since the last update:* - Headlines have been changed from Watches to Warnings, except for an Advisory in Franklin County Massachusetts. - Correction to this e-mail to add graphics for expected max winds and for excessive rainfall outlook. *Headlines:* - *High Wind Warning *for all of southern New England except Franklin County Massachusetts from Monday midday until Monday early Monday night. - *Wind Advisory* for Franklin County Massachusetts from Monday midday until early Monday night. - *Storm Warning *in effect for the ocean waters from Monday morning into Monday evening *Damaging Winds:* Southerly wind gusts of 55 to 70 mph are possible late Monday morning through Monday evening, with sustained winds of 20-40 mph. Greatest time of concern is late Monday morning into early Monday evening. The highest winds are expected across Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands, but damaging wind gusts are possible across all of southern New England. *Heavy Rain:* Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible from early Monday morning through Monday early Monday night. Locally higher amounts are possible where any thunderstorms move through. *Thunderstorms**:* Thunderstorms will be possible ahead of a cold front Monday afternoon and early Monday night. Some of these storms could become severe bringing damaging winds, lightning and heavy rain. *Impacts:* - Scattered to widespread power outages are possible due to downed trees, tree limbs and power lines. Difficult travel for high profile vehicles. - Heavy rain may cause brief localized urban and poor drainage flooding. *Uncertainty:* - We are confident in strong to damaging wind gusts Monday, but the magnitude of the wind gusts is still uncertain. If we end up on the lower end with mainly 50 to 60 mph wind gusts, we will have scattered power outages. On the other hand, if wind gusts end up in the 60 to 70 mph range, widespread power outages would be possible.
