Updated Shrewsbury Area Weather for 7/23-7/27//2009 (see disclaimer at bottom)...

Start your dehumidifiers and check your sump pumps!!

Today & Tomorrow

Today: Dew point ~65°F, Temps ~70°F, Winds WNW to NE @ 2-7 MPH.
Friday: Dew point ~61°F, Temps ~70°F, Winds NE to WSW @ 2-10 MPH.

A tropical air mass-based storm system will produce heavy amounts of rainfall during the
next 24 hours in the greater Shrewsbury area. The Tropical Prediction Center/National
Hurricane Center indicates a less than 30% chance of development of a tropical storm,
but heavy rains will arrive and cause minor to moderate stream, tributary and small river
flooding.

It is too early to determine the exact timing/location of storm axis, but it looks to be
centered more over eastern MA. Rainfall should start ~8 PM tonight and begin to taper off
~8 AM tomorrow. 2 to 3 inches of rain during this 12 hour period are likely, with a potential
for amounts as high as 3 to 4 inches. Isolated pockets of even greater precipitation amounts are possible...

Remember: Turn Around - Don't Drown! ~18-24" of water will float a car and ~8 inches of
moving water will knock a person off their feet. Flooded basements have the added risk of
electrical shock...
