PROBLEM SPOTS TUESDAY
The rainy afternoon continues into this evening for areas to the west of Boston. There is a Flood Watch in effect for the western half of Massachusetts that runs through tomorrow evening, meaning we have more rain on the way. The commute tomorrow might be a bit messy with showers and thunderstorms causing some problems on the roads. Rain chances will continue into tomorrow afternoon and evening for southern New Hampshire, while areas around Boston will start to clear out.
WEATHER ALERT
The greater Boston area will be on a Weather Alert Wednesday as the heavy rain potential migrates into central and eastern MA. Average rainfall 1-3″ is expected, but localized totals could be 5″+. We have a lot of moisture to work with and the steady rain will be torrential at times. Street and city flooding is likely in areas, though river and coastal flooding is not expected. The worst of the weather is currently expected in the afternoon, though you’ll want a raincoat all day.
LINGERING SHOWERS
Low pressure will be very slow to pull away. The result is more cloudy, humid, and cool weather Thursday and Friday with some lingering rainfall. There could be some embedded downpours on Thursday, but rainfall looks more on the order of 0.25-0.5″. By Friday we’re expecting 0.1″ or less with late day improvements.
