Wild Monday

A storm that originated in California will come across the country and pass to the NW of us giving the region a soaking rain and mild temps. South winds gusting to 50 MPH will push temps into the 50's on Monday afternoon. Heavy rain may amount over 2 inches, and that combined with the melting snow may create flooding problems. Cold air in place at the start of the storm may allow for some sleet or freezing rain north and west of 128 on Sunday night, but it would be brief.

Alert: Flash Flood Watch in effect for Sunday night into Monday for all of Mass.

Boston, MA forecast:

Tonight: Clear and frigid. Lows near 20 in downtown Boston, 16 in JP and in the upper single numbers NW of 128.

Sunday: Becoming cloudy, highs in the mid 30's. Little or no wind.

Sunday night: Showers arriving at 6 PM in Boston, but may start as frozen precip NW of 128. Then, the steady rain arrives after midnight along with increasing winds. Temps near 35 at 6 PM, but slowly rising to 50 by dawn. South winds of 5-10 MPH, increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH.

Monday: Heavy rain and thunderstorms until 11 AM, then showers continuing. Very windy and warm, highs in the mid 50's. South winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH.
