[Weather] Head's up- possible flooding on Connecticut River early next week

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon folks,

We wanted to send a head's up e-mail for those who have interests on the
Connecticut River in MA and CT. Minor flooding is possible on the lower
Connecticut River during early next week.

Rainfall events during tonight, and Sunday night into Monday, are expected
to bring a soaking rainfall to New England. One to 2+ inches of rainfall is
expected thru Monday.  A map from the Northeast River Forecast Center is
attached, with the rainfall forecast for both events.

*Warm temperatures over northern New England (VT/NH) will also  result in
substantial snowmelt.*  Due to the combined rainfall and snowmelt, strong
rises are expected on the lower Connecticut River. There is a risk early
next week for minor flooding along the Connecticut River in MA and CT.

Due to less snow pack in the headwaters of the Merrimack River, river
flooding is not expected on the lower Merrimack River in MA at this time.

The latest river stage forecasts in southern New England are available at
this web page:
