[Weather] [08.14.2023 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Heavy Rain, Localized Strong Storms Late Tonight to Tuesday AM

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Following is an update regarding the potential for heavy rain and a highly
localized risk for strong to severe thunderstorms anticipated to affect our
region for late tonight into Tuesday morning.

The most significant change was the addition of a Flood Watch in effect for
all of CT, RI and southeastern portions of MA late tonight into Tuesday
noon. We are especially concerned for urban and poor drainage street
flooding in the Flood Watch area, coinciding with the Tuesday morning
commute.

We anticipate heavy rain capable of flooding to be the main risk - although
there is a localized and generally lesser overall risk for severe weather,
including straight line wind damage and a low risk for a tornado or
waterspout.

Unless there are significant changes that would warrant otherwise, expect
this to be the final briefing for this weather situation.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto, Torry Dooley and Hayden Frank
