Flood — Hampshire, MA

Jan 13, 2018

A slow-moving cold front crossed New England from the afternoon of January 12 to the morning of January 13. Strong southerly winds ahead of the front drew mild and humid air north over Southern New England. This helped generate heavy downpours before the front moved through. Rainfall amounts ranged from one to three inches, except in Southeast Massachusetts where amounts ranged up to four inches. Maximum wind gusts ranged from 45 to 65 mph.
