A Nasty Nor'Easter...
A Nasty Nor'Easter...
Get Ready for Heavy Windswept Rain and possible Flooding
Good morning to all. The storm, as advertised for awhile now, is currently impacting the region with bouts of rain periodically mixed in with sleet and snow when the precipitation comes down hard enough. Look for this to continue throughout the day, with temperatures maxing out around 38 F. As the storm tracks closer during the evening it will likely draw in some warmer air, limiting any mixing that may occur.
Rainfall totals for the Lowell area may approach 5 INCHES by the time the storm winds down later on Monday. To give you an idea of how much rain that is, if this storm were all snow, that would be upwards of 4 FEET of snow! Yikes!
There are various weather watches and warnings currently in effect for different parts of New England - from Winter Storm Warnings for northern sections of ME, NH, and VT, to Coastal Flood Warnings on the Cape and Islands.
Heavy snow (up to two feet ) is possible in Northern New York State as well as the higher elevations of Northern New England. The large scope of the storm is also impacting Florida as we speak, with a line of strong to severe thunderstorms slicing across the state with this storm system's associated cold front. Click on the weather map at the top of the post to get a better picture of just how massive this storm is.
As of now, a Flood Watch has been issued for our area and is as follows below from the Nation Weather Service....
Flood Watch in Effect Through Monday
* THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON*
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WITH AS MUCH AS 5 INCHES IN A FEW LOCATIONS IN RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
* PRIMARY THREAT REGIONS FOR ANY 5 INCH 24 HOUR AMOUNTS ARE RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS INCLUDING MUCH OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR FROM WESTERLY TO PROVIDENCE BOSTON AND ESSEX COUNTY OF NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS.
We'll keep you posted as new developments warrant.
