[Weather] [09.08.2021 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heavy Rain & a few Severe Thunderstorms possible Tonight & Thu

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

Attached is our latest briefing regarding the potential for heavy rainfall
along with a few strong to  severe thunderstorms tonight into Thursday.
The main concern is heavy rainfall, which may lead to localized flooding
along with a few storms potentially producing strong to damaging wind gusts.

*What has changed - *

*1) Higher confidence in heavy rain threat, but lower in severe weather
threat*

An additional concern we have late this week and into the weekend, when
large swells from Hurricane Larry arrive into the MA and RI waters
Thursday, peak Friday and then linger into Saturday.  These large swells
will result in very rough surf and dangerous rip currents, especially at
southeast facing ocean beaches for the entire coastline of MA and RI.  Now
that most beaches are unguarded, these conditions become even more
dangerous.  In addition, we discourage people from viewing the large surf
on rocks and jetties, which can be very dangerous with large breaking
waves.

Thanks,
Bill Leatham and Kevin Cadima
