[2024.05.15 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing -- Low Risk of Flooding Overnight into Thursday
Good afternoon everyone We wanted to make everyone aware that there is a low risk of flooding overnight into Thursday across CT & RI. A widespread 1-2 inches of rain to the south of the Massachusetts turnpike tonight into Thursday...before the rain tapers off Thursday afternoon and evening. The most likely outcome is just typical nuisance poor drainage street flooding overnight into the Thursday morning commute. That being said....there is a low probability that a narrow swath of 3-5" of rain falls within a 6 hour period across CT & RI overnight into Thursday morning. While this is a low risk...if it were to occur more significant urban as well as some small stream flooding would be possible in CT and RI. We have put together a one-pager and also included the current probabilities of exceeding 2 and 3 inch rainfall amounts. No additional briefings are planned at this time.
