Episodes

March 2, 2007

Low pressure over the mid Atlantic states strengthened as it tracked over southeast New England. Snow changed to a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain, before an eventual change to rain over most of Massachusetts. Freezing rain persisted in the higher elevations of northern Worcester County, where around one half inch of icing brought down tree limbs and wires in Barre, New Braintree, and Paxton. Several thousand customers were left without power.|Heavy rain fell over eastern Massachusetts, where rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches were common. This resulted in widespread urban and small stream flooding, especially in Bristol, Plymouth, and Essex Counties. Several roads were closed in New Bedford, Plymouth, Salem, and Peabody because of flooding. Pickerel Brook in Walpole, Buffington Brook in Somerset, and Accord Brook in Hingham all rose out of their banks and flooded nearby areas.

August 30, 2005

Heavy tropical rain showers produced between three to nearly six inches of rain across southeast Massachusetts during the early morning hours of 30 August 2005. These heavy showers caused flash flooding in Bristol and Plymouth counties.In Dartmouth, Hawthorn Street and Tucker Road were closed due to flooding. The North Dartmouth Library on Tucker Road was also closed due to the flooding. Library staff moved books from the bottom shelves and placed sandbags outside the building to try to minimize flood damage to the library.In New Bedford, flash flooding caused many streets to close, including Purchase, Coggeshall, Parker, and Liberty Streets, as well as Route 18. At Purchase and Willow streets, underground flooding shorted out power.In Acushnet, Middle Road was closed, and several other roads had two feet of water on them. In Wareham, two feet of water was reported on Narrows Road.No known injuries directly resulted from these heavy rain showers in Bristol and Plymouth counties.

August 10, 2000

A long-lived supercell, which formed over eastern New York during the late evening of the 9th, strengthened as it moved across northern Connecticut and northern Rhode Island, where it caused wind damage and dropped large hail. The storm entered southeast Massachusetts during the early morning hours of the 10th, and caused damage in Bristol, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Dukes Counties.Damage was more widespread in Bristol County, where hail as large as golf balls fell in Norton and Easton, damaging several cars. In Norfolk County, the storm dropped dime size hail in Wrentham and also downed several large trees in Walpole, one of which fell onto a shed, destroying it. The supercell weakened as it entered Plymouth County, but there were still many reports of downed branches, wires, and small trees in West Bridgewater and Brockton. Dime size hail also fell in West Bridgewater. In all, about 18,000 electric customers in southeast Massachusetts were left without power.Other severe thunderstorms moved through south coastal Massachusetts and Marthas Vineyard closer to sunrise. Dime size hail was reported in Fairhaven, while large branches, wires, and one large tree were downed by thunderstorm winds in Edgartown.
