Rain holds off

The storm stalled to our west will slowly move east and arrive in Boston around dusk. Some isolated showers are possible before then, but the heavy rain should stay away as temps soar into the mid 50's again. This storm is an all rain event for the Boston area, with snow for the northern mountains. An inch or 2 of rain is likely, but flooding should not be a huge issue. The rain should come to an end Monday midday.
