[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Attached are a one-page briefing and supporting graphics for the
anticipated strong wind event.

There are no significant updates to the forecast, High Wind Warning, or
Wind Advisory, which remain in effect from *7 PM this evening through 7 PM
Friday*. We expect a period of *strong to damaging northwest winds* to
develop tonight and continue into Friday afternoon. The strongest gusts—*up
to 60 mph*—are expected along the eastern slopes of the Berkshires,
Worcester County, and northwest Middlesex County in Massachusetts. In lower
elevations, *gusts up to 50 mph* are expected, with the most frequent gusts
occurring after sunrise on Friday.

The next briefing is expected by *6 AM Friday*.

Thank you,
Torry Dooley and Candice Hrencecin
