[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good Morning Everyone,

Little has changed from the previous briefing sent Friday afternoon. A
coastal storm passing southeast of Nantucket Monday will bring the
potential for light icing inland, strong winds near the coast, and minor
coastal flooding to eastern Massachusetts.

Refer to the attached graphics. Here are the details:

*Interior Light Icing:*
*Locations*: Western and central Massachusetts and part of northern
Connecticut, especially in the higher elevations from the east slopes of
the Berkshires, Worcester Hills, and hills of Hartford and Tolland Counties.
*Timing:* 10 PM Sunday through 10 AM Monday
*Amounts*: Up to 1/10 inch of icing
*Impact*: Slippery travel
*Uncertainty:* Low. Light icing is also possible in the Pioneer and
Merrimack Valleys in Massachusetts but temperatures may stay just above
freezing in these locations.

*Strong Winds:*
*Locations*: Cape Ann and Cape Cod and the Islands
*Timing:* 10 PM Sunday through 10 AM Monday
*Sustained Wind:* 25 to 35 mph
*Wind Gusts:* 45 mph
*Impact*: Minor damage such as downed tree limbs. Isolated power outages.
*Uncertainty:* Low.

*Marine Impacts:*
*Locations*: Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters
*Timing:* 5 PM Sunday through 10 AM Monday on the south coastal waters; 11
PM Sunday to 4 PM Monday on the eastern waters
*Wind Gusts:* NE 35 to 40 kt
*Seas:* 4 to 8 ft on the inner bays and sounds; 10 to 15 ft offshore
*Uncertainty:* Low.

*Minor Coastal Flooding:*
*Locations*: Eastern Massachusetts coast
*Timing:* Monday afternoon high tide (3:10 PM at Boston and 4:17 PM on
Nantucket)
*Storm Surge:* 1.5 to 2.0 feet
*Inundation:* Less than 1 foot above ground level
*Impact*: Some vulnerable shoreline roads may become temporarily impassable
around high tide. Minor beach erosion is also possible.
*Uncertainty:* Low. It is unlikely that the storm surge exceeds 2.0 feet.

The next email update will be sent later this afternoon.

Thanks,
Joe DelliCarpini and Kevin Cadima
