Massachusetts is bracing for a period of heavy rainfall starting on Tuesday morning and continuing into Wednesday morning, according to National Weather Service forecasters. While some rain was already falling on Tuesday morning, forecasters do not expect it to intensify into severe weather. However, heavier downpours and isolated thunderstorms are still possible.
After a brief break in the rain on Tuesday afternoon, forecasters predict that a busy evening and overnight period with widespread, heavy rainfall will occur. This could lead to isolated flooding concerns, especially in the southern part of New England. The rain is expected to continue into the Wednesday morning commute, with some areas potentially receiving up to 2 inches of rain in total.
Despite the drier conditions that will move in on Wednesday afternoon, forecasters are warning that another period of heavy rain could begin on Thursday and potentially intensify on Friday and Saturday due to Tropical Storm Debby. The specific areas that will be most affected by this second round of rain are still uncertain.
Overall, Massachusetts residents are advised to be prepared for significant rainfall and potential flooding over the next few days. Stay updated on weather alerts and take precautions to ensure your safety during this period of inclement weather.
