A High Wind Warning has now been issued for the Boston area. The heavy rain is just now entering the Worcester area as of 945 AM. And it just started up here at PSU. When I looked out my window it was dry, by the time I made it outside about 30 seconds later it was pouring sideways with wind gusts over 40 MPH. Record flooding of the Pemmi river up here at Plymouth is possible- A Flood Warning is in effect up here. Anyway, the downpours will move into Boston between 1030 and 11 AM and continue through 3 PM. When the rain comes down the heaviest, the wind could gust as high as 60 MPH. These winds will bring down branches and even some trees and power lines. Be careful during the height of the storm.
A Flood Watch is still in effect for all of the area. I still expect 2-4 Inches of rain in a very short period of time.
Important Reminder: Remember not to drive through any flooded intersections or underpasses. Also-definitely avoid the J-Way and Storrow drive for the evening commute.
Timeline:
BY 11 AM: Downpours arrive in Boston. Wind gusts to 60 MPH possible.
3 PM: Downpours move to the south shore, steady rain continues. Wind shifts to the North, temp starts dropping.
8 PM: Showers end in Boston. Temps around 60.
