Good morning everyone, Given the holiday travel expected late this week, we wanted to provide an early heads up email about potential impacts to southern New England later this week. Here are the key points: 1. A period of strong to perhaps damaging southerly/southeasterly wind gusts depending on the strength of the system. 2. There could be a bit of snow/ice at the onset across the interior, but looks to be mainly a heavy rain event. 3. Very high astronomical tides in combination with strong winds may result in coastal flooding issues across south and east coast. Improving conditions should arrive Friday night into the holiday weekend. Another update with additional details or graphics may be sent by Monday afternoon or night. Thanks, Bill Leatham and Frank Nocera 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>
