September 25-27 Coastal Storm Update #2

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 prolonged rain and wind with varying intensity Friday through Monday; expected rainfall totals could be 4-6 inches. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph and sustained winds will range between 30-40 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 highly likely. Depending upon the track of the storm and the wind direction, the potential for moderate flooding will increase.

High winds coupled with fully foliated trees could increase the risk of scattered power outages. It is important to remember that all down wires are considered live. Report all down wires to Scituate Public Safety Dispatch at 781-545-1212.

Residents are urged to avoid coastal and low-lying areas. Motorists are asked to respect the road closure barricades.

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 24 hours away. Our next update will be Friday Afternoon.

In case of an Emergency, call 9-1-1.
