A powerful nor'easter will slowly move up the coast and pound us with heavy rain and storm force winds. The strongest part will be the morning hours of Sunday, but the rain will continue into Monday morning. Also, the wind will pile up the water on the coastline, making coastal flooding a possibility. Then, skies will clear and temps will rebound back up close to 60 on Tuesday and beyond.
Alerts:
A High Wind Watch is in effect for eastern mass for wind gusts to 60 MPH!
A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire area for 2-4 inches of rain.
