[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

Included with this email is the latest, and possibly final briefing update
for the storm expected today into this evening.  Overall, the forecast
remains similar regarding the expectation of heavy rain and coastal
flooding.  At this time, it looks like the best chance for final rainfall
totals exceeding 3 inches is across W MA and CT.

We have expanded the High Wind Warning and Wind Advisories further west.
The High Wind Warning (risk for 50-60 mph gusts) now includes south coastal
Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  The Wind Advisory now includes
northeastern Connecticut, northwestern Rhode Island and central-eastern
portions of Massachusetts that were not included with last evening's update.

The primary heavy rain for western areas will be through the afternoon,
then this afternoon and evening further east.  The strongest winds are
expected from about mid morning into the evening, with a peak during the
evening hours.  The risk for south coastal flooding will occur with this
evenings high tide.
