Hello to all….

 

….Heavy Rainfall and Isolated Severe Thunderstorms are a Threat for today
with isolated damaging wind and large hail the primary threats. The heavy
rainfall potential extending through Saturday Afternoon….

….A Flash Flood Watch Continues through Saturday Afternoon for Northern
Connecticut, all of Rhode Island and Southwest, South-Central
Massachusetts along with Eastern Massachusetts from Essex and Central
Middlesex Counties through Bristol and Plymouth counties of
Massachusetts. A Hydrologic Outlook has been issued for Southern New
Hampshire and Western Massachusetts. The Flash Flood Warning for
Hillsborough County NH expired at 3 AM and the Flash Flood Watch for
Southern New Hampshire expired at 6 AM….

….SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton likely Friday Afternoon and
Evening extending into Saturday….

 

Another round of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will occur in isolated
to scattered areas today. There will also be a threat for isolated severe
thunderstorms. The severe threat will be more localized than Thursday’s
event but a few locations may see damaging wind or large hail today.
There maybe a few breaks of sunshine later Friday Morning into the
afternoon which may allow for more instability and destabilization to
allow not just thunderstorms for heavy rainfall but thunderstorms
producing isolated damaging winds and large hail.

 

A Flash Flood Watch continues through Saturday Afternoon for Northern
Connecticut, all of Rhode Island and Southwest, South-Central
Massachusetts along with Eastern Massachusetts from Middlesex Counties
through Bristol and Plymouth counties of Massachusetts. A hydrologic
outlook has been issued for Southern New Hampshire and Western
Massachusetts. The Flash Flood Watch and Warning in effect for Southern
New Hampshire has expired overnight. During the day Friday, thunderstorms
will form and if they can train over the same area or move slowly over
the same area, this will produce isolated pockets of flash flooding. As
we get into Friday Night and Saturday, a more widespread heavier slug of
rain will occur over the region resulting in a more widespread 1.5-4”
rainfall across the region. Isolated rainfall amounts of 5-6” will be
possible. The greatest risk area is still expected to be Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Southwest, South-Central and much of Eastern
Massachusetts, however, a hydrologic outlook has been issued for Southern
New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts in case the rainfall expands a
bit further north and west of the Flash Flood Watch area. It’s still
unclear where the heaviest rain axis will occur as models are disparate
but the Flash Flood Watch area is the best estimate of where the heaviest
rainfall will be and it should affect a portion of that area.

 

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton likely Friday Afternoon and
evening and that activation may occur through Saturday as well. Will
attempt to post updates if time allows as the weather unfolds. Below are
the NWS Taunton Flash Flood Watch Statement, Hydrologic Outlook and
Hazardous Weather Outlook:
