Storm Coordination Message #4
Hello to all….
….Threat for Heavy Rainfall and Potential Flooding Shifts Eastward…..
….The Flood Watch for Western Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut and Central and Southern Rhode Island has been cancelled….
….A Flood Watch Continues for Southern New Hampshire, Northern Rhode Island and Central and Eastern Massachusetts except for Ca
pe Cod and the Islands through late tonight. The region under the flood watch has the potential for 2-4ö of rain with isolated
5-7ö amounts remaining possible. This would be enough rain to cause the potential for moderate flooding with the greatest threa
t in Southern New Hampshire and Northeast Massachusetts but other parts of the flood watch area may still be affected….
….SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will resume between 1130 AM-Noon through late tonight as required for the Flood Wa
tch area. ARES/RACES groups in the Flood Watch area should monitor the situation and seek advice from their leadership on any a
ctivation plans….
The threat for heavy rainfall and the potential for flooding have shifted eastward. The Flood Watch for Western Massachusetts,
Northern Connecticut and Central and Southern Rhode Island has been cancelled. Additional rainfall may occur in this area but i
t won’t be enough to cause flooding. The Flood Watch continues for Southern New Hampshire, Northern Rhode Island and Central an
d Eastern Massachusetts except for Cape Cod and the Islands through late tonight. The potential remains in this area for 2-4ö o
f rain with isolated 5-7ö amounts possible. In portions of Northeast Massachusetts, particularly Essex County, more rain has fa
llen in the past week than other areas, which means it could take less rain to cause flooding in this area. It remains unclear
where the axis of heaviest rainfall will occur but the greatest risk area is in the Merrimack River Valley of Northeast Massach
usetts and Southern New Hampshire. Other areas to the north and south within the flood watch area, however, remain at risk give
n the uncertainty of the heaviest rainfall will be.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will resume between 1130 AM-Noon and continue through late tonight as required in th
e Flood Watch area. ARES/RACES groups in the Flood Watch area should monitor the situation and seek advice from their leadershi
p on any activation plans.
