[Weather] [2019.10.08 AM - Heads Up] Late Week Offshore Ocean Storm

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Greetings all,

This will serve as a heads up email. We are currently forecasting a late
week offshore ocean storm. While there is uncertainty with specifics, we
are concerned about the following:

*What ...*

   - Lashing easterly winds and rain
      - Potential sustained winds 20 to 30 mph, gusts 30 to 50 mph, perhaps
      stronger
      - Possibly heavy rainfall amounts which could lead to localized
      flooding
   - Building waves and beach erosion
   - Gales, potentially storms over the waters with seas building upwards
   of 20 feet

*Where ...*

   - All of Southern New England under threat
      - However, the more significant impacts are forecast along the coast,
      especially the southern RI, southern and southeastern MA coastline,
      including Cape Cod and the Islands

*When ...*

   - Developing Wednesday, the height of impacts are anticipated late
   Thursday into Friday
   - Will see an improving trend beginning as early as Friday night going
   through the weekend


It's important to note that tides are astronomically low so the expectation
is a lower threat with respect to coastal flooding.

If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to
