[Weather] [2019.07.17 PM UPDATE] Flood and Severe Threats Have Concluded ... Heat and Humidity Friday through Sunday Continues

Thu Jul 18 00:10:34 UTC 2019

Good evening everyone,

The SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH and FLASH FLOOD WATCH has been canceled.

For tonight into Thursday there is the continued risk of scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms with embedded heavy downpours. Most of the focus
along south coastal New England with a lower risk of nuisance flooding as
there is the potential for rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.

It is entirely possible that the threat may end up completely south of our
area. Confident it will remain at least south of the Massachusetts
Turnpike.

We'll have an updated briefing package prior to 6 am Thursday, July 18th
should our forecast thinking change, as well as an update on the heat and
humidity for Friday through Sunday outlined below.
