SHOWERS
Periods of rain will continue this afternoon and evening with rain totals today 0.5-1″ on average in Massachusetts. It won’t be AS wet or AS windy as the weekend, but the forecast is still ugly. This is the fourth and final day of our nor’easter weather alert. The storm will drift from coastal New Jersey towards southeastern Massachusetts today and tonight, gradually weakening.
A Flood Watch will remain in effect through tonight for developing problem spots where heavy weekend rain has saturated the soil. In some towns it will take less than 1″ rainfall to create pockets of flooding. After midnight showers will taper off, leaving us foggy and misty through Tuesday morning.
WEAKENING WINDS
The worst of the wind is behind us, gusting 50-70 mph over the weekend. Gusts 20-35 mph will linger Monday, strongest in northeastern MA and southeastern NH.
COASTAL FLOODING
Waves 3-9 feet will impact the coastline of Massachusetts and New Hampshire today. We still have a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect up through midnight, with up to a half food of inundation above ground level in low lying areas, minor coastal flooding, and splashover. Minor additional beach erosion is possible.
Astronomical high tides will enhance the risk for minor coastal flooding and splashover at times Tuesday and Wednesday too.
SLOW IMPROVEMENTS
Tuesday will stay clouds and a little cool with highs in the mid 60s. Wednesday will warm back to 70 degrees with breaks of sun getting through the clouds. And partly sunny, warm weather is likely Thursday to Friday.
