[Weather] [08.31.2021 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Rain & Flood Potential Late Wed into Thu

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

Attached is our latest one-page briefing and supporting graphics regarding
the potential for heavy rainfall and significant flooding Wednesday evening
into Thursday. This may cause impacts such as road closures and washouts,
as well as impact Thursday morning commuters.

*Changes Since Last Briefing:* Rain totals were increased in most
locations, and expansion of the Flash Flood Watch to now include ALL of CT,
RI and MA.

Heavy rainfall and potential for flooding *is the greatest risk* to be felt
by most in this event. However, we do want to message the potential for
strong thunderstorms later Wednesday night into Thursday. These may carry
with them a low probability of brief tornadoes or thunderstorm-related wind
damage. The best chance for experiencing strong thunderstorms is along
south coastal Southern New England and Cape Cod, highlighted in the area in
forest green on the attached Thunderstorm Outlook graphic  from the Storm
Prediction Center.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto, Frank Nocera and Matt Belk
