September 25-27 Coastal Storm
SCITUATE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Good afternoon,
A wind and rain storm will move into our area beginning Friday Morning and will continue through Sunday night, diminishing early Monday morning.
Expect continuous rain with varying intensity Friday through Sunday. Expected rainfall totals could be 2-4 inches. Wind gusts could reach 50 mph and sustained winds will range between 25-30 mph from the Northeast through Sunday night diminishing early Monday.
The duration of the storm through numerous high tide cycles, makes conditions for minor coastal flooding likely. These conditions also increase risk for scattered power outages as well.
Residents should secure any outdoor items in anticipation of the high winds.
Storm drains should be cleared of any leaves to allow for drainage of the heavy rainfall expected.
Check generators be sure you have fuel.
Mariners should secure their boats.
Please keep an eye on the forecast as this storm is still 2 days away. Our next update will be Thursday Afternoon.
Have a safe weekend.
