[Weather] [2025.03.07 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Strong to Damaging Northwest Winds Continue Today

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Following is an updated weather briefing and situation update regarding the
ongoing strong wind event currently affecting Southern New
England, expected to continue through this afternoon.

*Changes Since Last Briefing:* The High Wind Warning has been expanded into
the remainder of Berkshire County in Massachusetts.

*Situation Update: *While gusts during the night have been rather commonly
in the 40-45 mph range for most of CT, MA and RI, recent gusts at Worcester
Airport were as high as 58 mph, and 65 mph at Pittsfield. Wind gusts will
continue to increase this morning into the 50-60 mph range and be capable
of causing instances of damage thru the mid-afternoon hours. Wind gusts
will begin to ease into the 25-40 mph range after sundown into tonight, but
a second increase in gusts back to the 40-50 mph range is possible on
Saturday. These details are included in the attached one-page briefing
packet.

*Next Briefing:* Expect this to be the final briefing, with wind gusts
forecast to decrease by later this afternoon. However if forecast wind
gusts for Saturday were to prompt the need for additional wind headlines,
we would then send another briefing by 600 PM today.

Thank You!
