At 9.0 feet, Backwater flooding from the Taunton River will cause flooding of lower Purchade Brook in Middleboro. This will cause Woloski Park to become impassable by most vehicles for an extended period of time. Beware of the dangers of crossing flooded roadways. The water may be deeper than you think. Floodwaters have the ability to damage roadways. Heed the advice of local officials, and evacuate if asked to do so.

The river is expected to rise above flood stage late this evening to a crest of 9.4 feet early tomorrow afternoon. It will then fall below flood stage Tuesday afternoon. - Flood stage is 8.0 feet. - Flood History
This crest compares to a previous crest of 9.4 feet on 03/25/2024. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood && LAT

FLOOD WATCH
Issue Date: 248 AM EDT Sun Sep 27 2026

FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT
WHAT
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
WHERE
Portions of Massachusetts, including the following areas, Barnstable MA, Central Middlesex MA, Dukes MA, Eastern Essex MA, Eastern Norfolk MA, Eastern Plymouth MA, Nantucket MA, Northern Bristol MA, Northern Middlesex MA, Northern Worcester MA, Southeast Middlesex MA, Southern Bristol MA, Southern Plymouth MA, Southern Worcester MA, Suffolk MA, Western Essex MA, Western Norfolk MA and Western Plymouth MA and Rhode Island, including the following areas, Block Island RI, Bristol RI, Eastern Kent RI, Newport RI, Northwest Providence RI, Southeast Providence RI, Washington RI and Western Kent RI.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
- Periods of rain will continue across the region right through Monday. Storm total rainfall amount of 2-4 inches are expected, but localized 5-7 inches amounts are possible. If these higher amounts are realized
the potential for both urban and small river/stream flooding would increase. This is particularly true if these localized higher amounts occur over a vulnerable urban center. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. &&

This is typically used for the approach of the eyewall of a major landfalling hurricane.

When the danger of life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the shoreline somewhere within the specified area, generally within 36 hours, is in association with a tropical, subtropical, or post-tropical cyclone.

Flash Flood Warning

Rapid and extreme flow of high water into a normally dry area, or a rapid water level rise in a stream or creek above a predetermined flood level, beginning within a short timeframe from the onset of heavy rain.

A dam or levee failure, or water released from an ice jam is also considered.

Expected overflow or inundation by water which causes or will cause damage and/or a threat to life.

Water level at a River Forecast point along a main stem river is expected to reach or exceed flood stage.

Expected inundation by water of some low lying and poor drainage areas, resulting in a nuisance to the public but not a threat to life and property.

Minor coastal flooding expected. Examples include: splashover that causes a few roads to be briefly impassable, standing water in parking lots, etc.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is issued when minor or nuisance coastal flooding is occurring or imminent.

High Wind Warning
