A strong storm system will track through the Great Lakes and Southeast Canada. It will bring much warmer temperatures for a period of time but also the threat of strong to damaging winds and a brief period of heavy rainfall. A High Wind Watch is now in effect from late tonight through Friday Afternoon for Southeast Providence, Kent, Bristol and Washington Counties Rhode Island, Barnstable, Bristol, Plymouth, Norfolk and Suffolk Counties of Massachusetts for sustained winds of 20-35 MPH with wind gusts of 50-60 MPH. Other areas outside of the High Wind Watch region may see Wind Advisory conditions. The strong to damaging winds with trees that still have a fair number of leaves on them could cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. In addition, a brief period of heavy rainfall may cause brief urban and poor drainage flooding particularly for leaf clogged drains. ~Rob 100
