The National Weather Service Boston/Norton is a vital forecast office that monitors and warns for most of Massachusetts, northern Connecticut, and all of Rhode Island, despite being physically located in Norton, about 30 miles south of Boston. It issues critical alerts for phenomena like tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and winter storms across 34 public forecast zones, while also providing specialized marine, aviation, and fire weather services, including forecasts for Logan International Airport and eight other regional airports. The office works alongside the co-located Northeast River Forecast Center to deliver hydrological data, and its information reaches the public through high-speed circuits to media outlets. The region boasts a deep meteorological history, with official Boston weather records dating back to October 20, 1870, at the Old State House, and airport records beginning in October 1926. The office relocated to its current Norton facility on March 20, 2018, while its radar remains in Taunton, and it operates six NOAA Weather Radio stations across the three states.
