...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON HAS ISSUED A HIGH WIND
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHEAST STATES TODAY TO
UPSTATE NEW YORK THURSDAY MORNING. WE WILL BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
LOW...WHICH MEANS WE WILL SEE INCREASINGLY STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS
DEVELOP TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS COULD
POTENTIALLY INCREASE TO 25 TO 40 MPH ON THE SOUTH COAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND INCLUDING THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AFTER
MIDNIGHT...WITH A LOW PROBABILITY OF A FEW GUSTS AROUND 60 MPH. THESE
HIGHER GUSTS MAY PROGRESS INLAND TOWARD DAWN AS HEAVY SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THURSDAY MORNING AND THIS WILL SWITCH THE WINDS TO
SOUTHWESTERLY. STRONG WIND GUSTS MAY OCCUR IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AS WELL.
OVERALL...DAMAGING WINDS ARE NOT A CERTAINTY AT THIS TIME.
HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL DOES EXIST...THEREFORE A WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED. SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS WILL DETERMINE IF THE WATCH NEEDS TO BE
DOWNGRADED TO AN ADVISORY OR UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS TO DEVELOP IN THE MENTIONED AREAS. THESE STRONG WINDS ARE
CAPABLE OF DOWNING TREES AND POWER LINES AS WELL AS CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE. IF A HIGH WIND WARNING IS ISSUED...STAY INSIDE AND AWAY FROM
WINDOWS.
