[Weather] [2025.03.07 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Second Round of Gusty to Strong Winds Today

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Following is a short decision support briefing for Saturday, with another
round of gusty to locally strong west wind gusts expected later today in
Southern New England.

Following the passage of a cold front later this morning, northwest winds
will again become gusty, topping out in most areas around 35 to 45 mph.
Adverse impact from this level of gusts should be minimal. There are no
active wind headlines in effect for Connecticut, Rhode Island and most of
Massachusetts.

However wind gusts up to 50 mph are expected in the Berkshires. With the
strong wind event that occurred yesterday that may have weakened trees and
limbs, gusts to that level could cause additional wind damage. A *Wind
Advisory* has been posted for the Berkshires, which runs through 10 PM this
evening.

Attached graphics include the forecast maximum wind gusts across Southern
New England and the current wind headlines in effect.

*Next Briefing:* By 600 PM Saturday, or sooner if conditions warrant.

Thank You!

Meteorologist: Andrew Loconto
