A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING
TO 3 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON. A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT
FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. THIS WATCH MAY NEED TO EXTEND
TO THE MIDDAY MONDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLE IN OUR DAYTIME ISSUANCE.
A POWERFUL NOREASTER WILL BRING WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
ALONG WITH POCKETS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING DURING TODAYS LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE CYCLE. THIS WILL RESULT IN
VULNERABLE ROAD CLOSURES AN HOUR ON EITHER SIDE OF HIGH TIDE.
DESPITE LOW ASTRONOMICAL TIDES...A STORM SURGE OF NEARLY 2.5 FEET IS
EXPECTED FOR TODAYS AND POSSIBLY MONDAYS HIGH TIDE CYCLES. THIS COMBINED
WITH WAVES OF 20 TO 25 FEET POUNDING THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST
MAY RESULT IN POCKETS OF MODERATE FLOODING.
THE NORTH SHORE OF BOSTON FROM BOSTON WINTHROP AND REVERE NORTHWARD
TO PLUM ISLAND AND NEWBURYPORT WILL HAVE THE COMPLICATING FACTOR OF
NEARLY CONSTANT ONSHORE GALE FORCE NORTHEAST GUSTS LIMITING RIVER
AND STREAM DRAIN INTO THE OCEAN. THIS COULD FORCE HEAVY URBAN RAINFALL
RUNOFF TO POSSIBLY BACK UP ONTO A FEW CITY STREETS.
ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDESPREAD MINOR ALONG WITH POCKETS OF MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED DURING THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT. ADDITIONAL MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING WILL ALSO LIKELY
OCCUR DURING THE TWO HIGH TIDE CYCLES ON MONDAY SO MORE HEADLINES MAY
BE ISSUED LATER TODAY.
POCKETS OF SUBSTANTIAL BEACH EROSION ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR THROUGH
MONDAY.
FINALLY...THERE IS A VERY LOW PROBABILITY OF MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING
AT SCITUATE DURING THE MIDDAY MONDAY HIGH TIDE. THIS WILL BE
REEVALUATED LATER TODAY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
MODERATE OR MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING. MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING
PRODUCES WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR
BASEMENTS DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF STORM TIDE AND/OR WAVE ACTION.
NUMEROUS ROAD CLOSURES ARE NEEDED. LIVES MAY BE AT RISK FOR
PEOPLE WHO PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY. ISOLATED STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE MAY BE OBSERVED.
MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING IS CONSIDERED SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE AT
LEAST SCATTERED STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ALONG WITH WIDESPREAD FLOODING
OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR BASEMENTS. SOME VULNERABLE
HOMES WILL BE SEVERELY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. NUMEROUS ROADS ARE
IMPASSABLE...SOME WITH WASHOUTS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BE LIFE
THREATENING IF ONE ATTEMPTED TO CROSS ON FOOT OR BY VEHICLE. SOME
NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BE ISOLATED. EVACUATION OF SOME NEIGHBORHOODS
IS NECESSARY.

...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM EDT THIS
EVENING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM EDT THIS
EVENING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING
THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH
LATE TONIGHT.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON HAS CONTINUED THE COASTAL
FLOOD WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT.
A POWERFUL NOREASTER MAY BRING MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING THE
NEXT SEVERAL HIGH TIDE CYCLES ACROSS OUTER CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET
ISLAND. DESPITE LOW ASTRONOMICAL TIDES...A STORM SURGE OF AROUND
2.0 FEET IS EXPECTED. THIS COMBINED WITH WAVES OF 20 TO 25 FEET
POUNDING THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST MAY RESULT IN AREAS OF
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING.
IF FLOODING WERE TO OCCUR...IT WOULD MORE LIKELY BE TONIGHT OR
MONDAY. A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TONIGHT...BUT MAY
EVENTUALLY BE EXTENDED INTO THE MONDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...ALONG WITH POCKETS OF MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING...IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT. SO A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH
IS IN EFFECT. ADDITIONAL MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING MAY
ALSO OCCUR DURING THE TWO HIGH TIDE CYCLES ON MONDAY AND MORE
HEADLINES MAY BE ISSUED IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR THROUGH MONDAY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
MODERATE OR MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING. MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING
PRODUCES WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR
BASEMENTS DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF STORM TIDE AND/OR WAVE ACTION.
NUMEROUS ROAD CLOSURES ARE NEEDED. LIVES MAY BE AT RISK FOR
PEOPLE WHO PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY. ISOLATED STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE MAY BE OBSERVED.
MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING IS CONSIDERED SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE AT
LEAST SCATTERED STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ALONG WITH WIDESPREAD FLOODING
OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR BASEMENTS. SOME VULNERABLE
HOMES WILL BE SEVERELY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. NUMEROUS ROADS ARE
IMPASSABLE...SOME WITH WASHOUTS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BE LIFE
THREATENING IF ONE ATTEMPTED TO CROSS ON FOOT OR BY VEHICLE. SOME
NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BE ISOLATED. EVACUATION OF SOME NEIGHBORHOODS
IS NECESSARY.
&&
ALL TIDE HEIGHTS ARE RELATIVE TO MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.
TIME OF HIGH TOTAL TIDES ARE APPROXIMATE TO THE NEAREST HOUR.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 3:56 PM EST, 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
356 PM EST SAT MAR 13 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A MAJOR NOREASTER STALLING NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL BLAST
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY WIND SWEPT RAINS LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THEN DRIFT OUT TO SEA SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET MONDAY NIGHT. STRONG GREAT PLAINS HIGH PRESSURE
FOLLOWS...PROBABLY DELIVERING A SPELL OF NICE SPRING WEATHER HERE
FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK FROM TUESDAY ONWARD.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT/...
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL ALSO STEADILY
INCREASE. NEW HAZARDS/DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
KBOX 88D RADAR SHOWING LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL
MOVING N-NE FROM THE NJ COAST ACROSS LONG ISLAND STEADILY MOVING N.
DEWPTS HAVE BEEN STEADILY RISING ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI/SE MA
OVERNIGHT. ODDLY...HAVE SEEN DEWPTS DROP ACROSS NORTHERN BERKSHIRES
INTO S VERMONT AS E WINDS KICKED UP A BIT AT KAQW...LIKELY MIXING
DOWN DRIER AIR FROM ALOFT. EXPECT THOSE WILL RISE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS AS STEADIER PRECIP MOVES IN.
AS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA...EXPECT PRECIP TO ARRIVE FROM S-N
DURING THE DAY AS E-NE WINDS START TO INCREASE. BIG QUESTION TODAY
WAS WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH MIXING TO BRING DOWN DAMAGING
WINDS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. SHORT RANGE MODELS ALL IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...ON ORDER OF
70-75 KT FROM 925 TO 850 HPA...EITHER VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
TONIGHT. FEEL THAT BEST SHOT OF DAMAGING WINDS WILL OCCUR ON CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS...SO HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING THERE.
COULD ALSO SEE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
CONNECTICUT...SO HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY THERE. FOR THE
REMAINDER OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL MA AS WELL AS RHODE ISLAND...THE
BIG QUESTION WAS WHETHER THE WINDS WOULD MIX DOWN DURING THE DAY AS
THE PRECIP MOVES IN...WHICH COULD DELAY THE MIXING DUE TO EVAP
COOLING. STILL SEE SOME TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS TO ALLOW FOR THIS
ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. DECIDED TO KEEP HIGH WIND WATCH GOING FOR
THOSE AREAS...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AT LEAST AN ADVISORY
GO UP FOR TONIGHT.
WITH THE AIRMASS BECOME MOIST DURING THE DAY...WILL LIKELY SEE
GENERALLY LIGHTER PRECIP AMOUNTS THIS MORNING. EXPECT SLUG OF
HEAVIER PRECIP TO REACH INTO W RI/CT MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON...
POSSIBLY UP TO 1/2" IN SOME AREAS BETWEEN 18Z-00Z. HAVE KEPT THE
FLOOD WATCH UP FOR RI/N CT THIS AFTERNOON.
AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT THESE TO SLOWLY BUT STEADILY RISE DURING THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY AS ONSHORE WINDS FRESHEN. USED A BLEND OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST ALONG WITH BIAS CORRECTED MOS GUIDANCE...WHICH
SEEMED TO GIVE WARMER TEMPS ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI/E MA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SUNDAY...
THE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
FALLING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. THIS A
RESULT OF AN EASTERLY LOW LEVEL JET 5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL RESULTING IN VERY STRONG OMEGA. THE NAM MODEL QPF LOOKS VERY
REASONABLE AND DOES A GOOD JOB IN SHOWING THE SHADOWING THAT WILL
LIKELY OCCUR IN THE LOWER CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY...WITH A
SECONDARY MAXIMUMS ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES/WORCESTER
HILLS/MONADNOCKS.
THE STRONGEST LOW LEVEL JET WILL BE LIFTING NORTHWARD DURING
THE MORNING. THEREFORE...THE FOCUS FOR THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD
SHIFT INTO NORTHEAST MA BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. THE VERY
HEAVY RAINFALL THAT FALLS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL RESULT IN
AREAS SIGNIFICANT URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. IN
ADDITION...MINOR TO POCKETS OF MODERATE STREAM AND RIVER FLOODING
ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED.
THE EASTERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL ALSO RESULT IN CONTINUED VERY STRONG
WIND GUSTS ALONG THE COAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NORTHEAST MA. STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR EASTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 45 TO
60 MPH DURING THE EARLY TO MID MORNING HOURS. THIS COMBINED WITH
HEAVY RAIN AND A VERY SATURATED GROUND WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN
AREAS OF WIND DAMAGE. AS THE LOW LEVEL JET LIFTS NORTHWARD LATER IN
THE MORNING/AFTERNOON THE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH SOME BUT IT WILL
REMAIN WINDY ON THE COAST.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL LIFT INTO NORTHEAST MA BY
LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE ALSO IS SOME MID LEVEL DRY AIR
THAT WORKS NORTHWARD INTO MOST OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...WEAK
SHALLOW LIFT WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE
RAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.
HOWEVER...MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT NORTHEAST MA
INTO THE AFTERNOON.
DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...EXPECT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE REGION TO
JUST SEE RAIN. HOWEVER...A TOUCH OF WET SNOW/SLEET MAY BE OBSERVED
ALONG THE HIGHEST TERRAIN ALON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES/MONADNOCKS. THIS WOULD BE GENERALLY AT ELEVATIONS OF
OVER 1500 FEET.
SUNDAY NIGHT...
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE WELL SOUTH OF OUR REGION WILL
CONTINUE RESULT IN AN ONSHORE FLOW AND WIDESPREAD RAIN TO THE
REGION. WILL CONTINUE WITH CATEGORICAL POPS AND AGAIN SHOW THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION FALLING ACROSS EASTERN MA...ESPECIALLY
NORTHEAST MA.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE WE ARE EXPECTING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE REGION
TO SEE THE PRECIPITATION FALLING IN THE FORM OF RAIN. HOWEVER...THE
THERMAL PROFILES DO SHOW SOME COOLING SUNDAY NIGHT.
THEREFORE...EXPECT THE RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO WET SNOW ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND PARTICULARLY
THE MONADNOCKS. THE THERMAL PROFILES ARE QUITE MARGINAL AND A SMALL
CHANGE CAN OBVIOUSLY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW EXISTS ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN ALONG
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES/MONADNOCKS WITH A LOWER
PROBABILITY OF A SMALL ACCUMULATION IN THE WORCESTER HILLS. ACROSS
THE HIGHEST TERRAIN OF THE MONADNOCKS AT ELEVATIONS OF 1500 FEET OR
GREATER THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR 6 INCHES OR EVEN A BIT MORE OF
WET SNOW. WILL TRY TO SHOW THIS GRAPHICALLY IN OUR SNOW ACCUMULATION
FORECAST...BUT WILL NOT BE ISSUING A WATCH SINCE THIS AREA COVERS A
RELATIVELY SMALL AREA OF CHESHIRE/HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES.
NONETHELESS...THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CERTAINLY WILL HAVE TO BE
WATCHED ON LATER SHIFTS AND AT LEAST A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY
EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COASTAL STORM WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER THROUGH SUNDAY. THERE IS MULTI-
MODEL AND ENSEMBLE SUPPORT FOR CATEGORICAL POPS FOR MOST OF MONDAY.
THEREFORE...WE THINK MONDAY WILL FEATURE OCCASIONAL SHOWERY PRECIP
WITH BURSTS OF HEAVIER PRECIP...MAINLY IN THE MORNING. THE
PRECIPITATION WILL TEND TO TAPER OFF AND EVENTUALLY END FROM NW TO SE
AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES BUT PROBABLY LINGER INTO THE EVENING
ACROSS FAR SE MASS.
PRECIP TYPE ON MONDAY SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN.
HOWEVER...THE COLUMN MAY BECOME COLD ENOUGH ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH
TERRAIN FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY THE BERKS AND
MONADNOCKS. WOULDN/T BE SURPRISED IF WE/LL EVENTUALLY NEED A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOWFALL FOR THESE LOCATIONS...AND POSSIBLY EVEN
THE WORCESTER HILLS. BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS WILL BE KEY...AS THEY HAVE
BEEN FOR MUCH OF THIS WINTER.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE AS WELL...WITH PERSISTENT ONSHORE
FETCH. WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED MONDAY DAYTIME FOR MUCH OF
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND.
RAPID CLEARING TAKES PLACE MONDAY NIGHT. MUCH OF NEXT WEEK FROM
TUESDAY ONWARD LOOKS GOOD...LOTS OF SUN AND WARMING TEMPS. THIS WILL
GIVE US A GOOD CHANCE TO DRY OUT FROM ALL THE RAINFALL.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON IFR IN WIND DRIVEN RAIN. STRONG E-NE
WINDS 30-40 KT EASTERN MA AND RI ALONG WITH LIKELY LLWS. LOW
CONFIDENCE OF ICE ACROSS E SLOPES OF THE BERKS.
KBOS...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS LOWERING TO IFR.
OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN SHOWERS /POSSIBLY SNOW ORH/ MONDAY.
NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 KT LIKELY MOST
TERMINALS...ESPECIALLY EAST COAST OF MASS AS WELL AS RI. RAPID
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM N TO S. VFR
CONDITIONS AND LIGHTER WINDS AND THEN EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK WITH NO MAJOR WEATHER SYSTEMS ANTICIPATED.
&&
.MARINE...
TODAY...SEAS ALREADY BUILDING EARLY THIS MORNING...UP TO 10 FEET AT
AT THE SOUTHERN BUOYS INCLUDING SE OF BLOCK ISLAND AT 09Z. BUZZARDS
BAY BUOY GUSTING UP TO 32 KT. CONTINUED GALE WARNING WITH WIND GUSTS
UP TO 40 KT MENTIONED MAINLY ON THE OPEN WATERS.
TONIGHT...EXPECT E-NE GUSTS UP TO 45 KT. SEAS CONTINUE TO QUICKLY
BUILD ESPECIALLY ON THE EASTERN WATERS...FORECAST UP TO 20 FT LATE.
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...
STORM WARNINGS CONTINUE SUNDAY MORNING AS STRONG EASTERLY LOW LEVEL
JET WILL PROMOTE 55 KNOT WIND GUSTS EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIFT NORTHWARD SUNDAY MORNING...BUT STORM FORCE
WIND GUSTS MAY PERSIST ACROSS OUR NORTHERN OUTER-WATERS INTO THE
AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...STRONG NORTHEAST GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT AS VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM SPINS TO OUR
SOUTH. HAVE INCREASED THE MODEL GUIDANCE SEAS AS WE EXPECT TO SEE
AT LEAST 25 FOOT SEAS ACROSS EASTERN MA OUTER-WATERS THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT WITH A CONTINUED EXCELLENT FETCH.
OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
GALES CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISH MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY. SEAS WILL REMAIN DANGEROUS THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE EASTERN MASS COASTLINE. WINDS AND
SEAS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS HIGHER PRESSURE
BUILDS IN.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE MODELS CONTINUE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN SHOWING WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL TOTALS BETWEEN 3 AND 6 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION
THROUGH MONDAY. THIS IS NOT ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE OPERATIONAL
MODELS BUT ALSO BACKED UP BY THE GFS/SREF ENSEMBLES WHICH GIVES US
VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE. THIS A RESULT OF A STRONG EASTERLY LOW LEVEL
JET 5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL WHICH IS BRINGING COPIOUS
MOISTURE AND STRONG LIFT INTO THE REGION. THE MODELS ALSO AGREE
THAT THE HIGHEST TOTALS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST MA REGION WHERE
THE LOW LEVEL JET IMPINGES ON THE REGION THE LONGEST. IN
ADDITION...SECONDARY MAXIMUMS WILL LIKELY OCCUR ALONG THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES/WORCESTER HILLS/MONADNOCKS AS A RESULT OF
THE EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW. LOCAL MINIMUMS WILL OCCUR IN THE LOWER
CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY AS A RESULT OF SHADOWING.
ALL IN ALL...A WIDESPREAD 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN WILL FALL WITH THE
HEAVIEST TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...THE RAIN WILL
CONTINUE TO RIGHT INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. IN
ADDITION...MINOR TO MODERATE RIVER FLOODING WILL LIKELY OCCUR AT
SEVERAL LOCATIONS AS A RESULT OF THE HEAVY RAIN.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL GO AHEAD AND CONVERT THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH TO A WARNING
ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN MA. WE EXPECT WIDESPREAD MINOR WITH POCKETS
OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE LATE SUNDAY
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. THE MRPSSE IS ALREADY UNDERDONE BY 1 FOOT
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...WE EXPECT A 2 TO 2.5 FOOT STORM
SURGE AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE LATE SUNDAY MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
ALONG WITH WINDS STILL GUSTING TO 45 MPH ALONG THE COAST. THIS
COMBINED WITH 25 FOOT SEAS JUST OFFSHORE WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD
MINOR TO POCKETS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. WILL ALSO GO AHEAD AND
ISSUE A COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT FOR CAPE COD/NANTUCKET FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING LATE SUNDAY MORNING.
WILL CONTINUE THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT FOR THE
EASTERN MA COAST AND ALSO EXTEND IT TO CAPE COD/NANTUCKET FOR THE
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLE. HIGH SEAS AND ANOTHER 2 TO 2.5
FOOT STORM SURGE WILL BRING MORE WIDESPREAD MINOR WITH POCKETS OF
MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.
SAME STORY FOR MONDAY...ENE GALES WILL CONTINUE TO PILE WATER UP
ALONG THE BEACH. AREAS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING ON THE EAST COAST
OF MASS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION...SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED RIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY.
