[Weather] [2024.05.15 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing -- Low Risk of Flooding Overnight into Thursday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone

We wanted to make everyone aware that there is a low risk of flooding
overnight into Thursday across CT & RI. A widespread 1-2 inches of rain to
the south of the Massachusetts turnpike tonight into Thursday...before the
rain tapers off Thursday afternoon and evening. The most likely outcome is
just typical nuisance poor drainage street flooding overnight into the
Thursday morning commute. That being said....there is a low probability
that a narrow swath of 3-5" of rain falls within a 6 hour period across CT
& RI overnight into Thursday morning. While this is a low risk...if it were
to occur more significant urban as well as some small stream flooding would
be possible in CT and RI.  We have put together a one-pager and also
included the current probabilities of exceeding 2 and 3 inch rainfall
amounts. No additional briefings are planned at this time.

Thank You

Meteorologists: Hayden Frank, Bill Leatham and Torry Dooley
