[Weather] [2023.08.08 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Flood Watch Issued Until 12 AM Wednesday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

There is growing confidence that localized areas in eastern Massachusetts
and Rhode Island may experience flooding due to torrential rainfall this
morning and early afternoon, with rainfall between 1.5 to 2.5 inches, with
isolated higher amounts exceeding 3 inches possible.

As a result, we have issued a Flood Watch for eastern
Massachusetts (excluding Cape Cod and the Islands) and all of Rhode Island
(excluding Washington County). The Flood Watch is in effect until 12 AM
Wednesday, see the attached image below.

Additionally, this morning, there is still a low threat for isolated strong
to severe thunderstorms that could produce damaging wind gusts, along with
a brief tornado or waterspout.

Thank you,
Rob Megnia and Torry Dooley
