[Weather] [2019.04.02 AM] Coastal Storm passes on Wednesday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

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.
