PROBLEM SPOTS TUESDAY
Most of the day will be humid, mild, and mostly cloudy in Boston and Worcester. There could be an isolated downpour or thunderstorm midday or afternoon, but the much better chance for rain will stretch from CT to western MA and southern VT/NH. These areas north and west of Boston are expecting heavy rain at times, and a Flood Watch will be in effected in parts of western New England.
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.
