We’re continuing to track a slow-moving nor’easter that will be with us through late Monday. That means we’re not done with the rain, wind or coastal impacts just yet. So lets break down the biggest threats from this storm:
HEAVY RAIN
Sunday and Monday will remain soggy and even soaking at times. We’re looking at another 2-4″ rainfall in central and eastern MA and southern NH with localized amount 5-7″. A Flood Watch will be in effect through Monday night for the potential of flooded streets and streams when repeated downpours pass through some communities. Showers will taper off around sunrise Tuesday.
STRONG WIND GUSTS
The worst of the wind came through Saturday. A Wind Advisory is still in effect until noon today for a few strong gusts close to 50 mph. There may be some additional wind damage reports and isolated power outages through the storm. Keep in mind, trees are more vulnerable given all the leaves this time of year and the saturated soil. Gusts 30-40 mph will be common this afternoon. Gusts 20-30 mph are expected Monday as they continue to gradually weaken.
COASTAL CONCERNS
A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect through 8 PM with additional minor coastal flooding and splashover expected. Seas 10-15 feet are expected off the east coast today with gusts to 45 kts, bringing high surf, beach erosion and dangerous rip currents.
SLOW IMPROVEMENTS
Monday will still be a washout but rain and wind will trend a little lighter still. The nor’easter will move out Tuesday with the risk for an early morning shower then dry, cloudy conditions expected during the day.
The pattern will improve significantly Wednesday with more sunshine and highs in the 70s through the end of the week!
