Team Norfolk - Impending Weather - 4-22-17 @ 4pm

Ladies and Gents,

This is just a quick note about the wet weather and high tides heading our way.

According to the attached hourly graph, rain is anticipated throughout the rest of today (Saturday), tomorrow, Monday and into Tuesday.  The precipitation by itself shouldn’t be too much of a problem; however, combined with higher tides the result will be flooding in the usual spots.  The attached tide chart shows the stacking tides reaching alert levels during the Monday 8:26pm high tide. More to come on this.

I encourage you to visit the NHS Wakefield’s Thunderstorm Briefing page at http://www.weather.gov/akq/Thunder#rain.  Along with the radar, move the cursor over the 24- 36- and 48- hour Precip Forecasts as well as the Day 1 + 2 Precip Forecasts.  Again, the aforementioned Hourly Graph should articulate the amounts of rainfall during which periods.   

The EOC will continue to monitor and keep you posted.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have.

Thanks!

Jim
