[Weather] [2024.03.09 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong Winds, Heavy Rain, minor river & tidal flooding

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

A quick hitting storm system will move across the region tonight into
Sunday morning with the following impacts

   - Strong southeast winds gusting up to 55 mph, highest winds Cape Cod &
   Cape Ann, where power outages are possible.  A wind advisory has been
   posted for the coastline of MA & RI


   - These strong winds combined with high astronomical tides will result
   in minor tidal flooding (minor inundation & coastal erosion) during the
   time of high tide Sunday morning & early afternoon.  A coastal flood
   advisory has been posted for the entire coastline of MA and RI.


   - Heavy rain with 1-2" inches of rainfall, yielding minor street/highway
   flooding tonight.


   - With rivers and streams already swollen from heavy rain earlier this
   week, renewed minor flooding is possible across CT, RI and MA.  Therefore,
   a flood watch has been posted for most of the region.

Kyle Pederson, Rob Megina and Frank Nocera
