The heavy rain remains to the west of the Boston area tonight. However, we did get some downpours this afternoon up here in Plymouth. Tonight, the axis of the heavy rain will slowly shift eastward and arrive in Boston during the morning rush. Downpours will continue off and on until the evening hours. Although, when it is not pouring the rain will be steady. The strongest winds will come before the heavy rain-during the night tonight. But, there could be some windswept rain early tomorrow. The remains of Nicole may actually gain strength before crossing over the region tomorrow evening with additional showers. The weekend will be cool, but dry. Another storm may come into the NE next week, as we go from drought to flood throughout much of the East.
Alerts:
A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire Boston area until noon Friday.
A Flood Watch is in effect for all of New England, Including Boston.
A Flood Warning is in effect for the Pemmi River up here at PSU. The river flows under a bridge at the bottom of the campus. Record flooding is possible.

Flooding rains
While Nicole has lost its tropical circulation, it still has a lot of moisture with it as it sits just south of Miami. And, there is another gale center off the Carolina coast. The storm off the Carolina coast along with a cold front will bring heavy downpours from DC to Burlington, VT tomorrow as the storm moves northward. 6 to as much as 10 inches of rain are possible in those areas. Then, as the front sweeps towards the coast we will get in on the heavy rain on Thursday night and Friday. We will also be on the east side-which will bring damaging wind gusts even to the Boston area Thursday night into Friday morning. The remains of Nicole will make a close pass to New England coast Friday night which could bring more rain as a separate system. It is still unclear how close it will come. However, it should by dry and cool for the upcoming weekend.

A High Wind Watch is in effect for the entire Boston area from 5 PM Thursday to 9 AM Friday.

TD 16
Tropical Depression 16 has formed south of Cuba. It is very disorganized, but is producing heavy rain in the Caribbean islands. The track takes across Florida west of Miami, then making another landfall along the Carolina Coast Thursday as Tropical Storm Nicole. Then, turning north and head up the east coast and come into MA around the Worcester area as a remnant low on Thursday night. On that track the heavy rain would be to the west of the Center at first, but then come east as the storm passes by. 6+ inches of rain are possible from DC to NYC over the next few days. That track would also put the Boston area on the windy side. Some gusts could approach 50 MPH, if it holds together. However, it should clear out for the weekend as a cool blast from Canada comes down.
Boston, MA forecast:
Tonight: Fog and humid with scattered showers. Low 65. South wind of 10-20 MPH.
Wednesday: Fog until 9AM, then partly sunny. Warm and still humid with a high of 80. NW wind of 10-20 MPH.

Thursday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Heavy rain to the west of Worcester. Humid and windy with highs in the upper 70's. This is subject to change based on the track of Nicole. Wind gusts over 40 MPH possible. Stay tuned!
Friday:Depending on the speed of the remains of Nicole it could be wet and windy. Currently, it looks like the rain will be over by mid morning followed by partial clearing. Highs around 70.
Saturday: Partly sunny and cool. Highs in the low 60's.
Sunday: Partly sunny with highs around 60.
