[Weather] [2022.04.17 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong Storm to Bring Multiple Weather Hazards Monday Night into Tuesday Morning

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Attached is an initial briefing and supporting graphics regarding a storm
system expected to bring strong to damaging winds, splashover to minor
coastal flooding, accumulating snow in the Berkshires, and a period of
heavy rain Monday night into Tuesday morning.

A *High Wind Watch *is in effect for Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket
Counties in MA from late Monday night into Tuesday morning.

The storm's eventual track is still uncertain, and further adjustments to
the snow forecast are still possible depending on the track.

Regarding coastal flooding: east-southeast wind on Tuesday morning's high
tide (1:26 AM) would favor Boston Harbor and the North Shore as the areas
most at risk. A 2 ft storm surge is currently expected after this high
tide, supporting minor splashover or minor coastal flooding. A greater
coastal flooding risk is possible if the peak surge occurs closer to the
time of high tide (e.g. sooner than currently anticipated).

Supporting graphics attached include: a map of active headlines, expected
peak wind gusts, and forecast storm total rain and snow accumulations.

Expect the next update to this briefing by 6 AM Monday.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto and Kevin Cadima
