Concerns about flood and wind damage
The worst of the wind and rain had left, but the roads were soaked by heavy rains overnight. On top of that, we had a significant amount of snowmelt as temperatures rose in place. Beware of puddles on roads and sidewalks. Now that the heavy rains have subsided, our concern this afternoon will be river flooding. Strong winds during the night also caused some damage and power outages. Winds will ease, but we will see gusts up to 30 mph at times this afternoon. Since the ground is very saturated and the trees are stressed, any wind gusts may damage isolated trees during the afternoon. Plan for more sunshine as the day goes on, with highs reaching the mid 40s.
More unstable weather
We're gearing up for another busy week at the Met Department with another storm on the way early next week. This time it looks like snowfall will be a possibility for us as the cold air will be trapped in place. Check with us for the latest timing and snowfall totals with this upcoming storm.
We are already monitoring our next storm that is scheduled to arrive over the weekend. Warm air returns again with highs in the 50s on Saturday. The main concerns again will be heavy rain at times and stronger wind gusts. Highs across northern MA and into NH could see a brief wintry mix, but it won't last long and will be washed away by rain. Be sure to check back with us as we get a better idea of how much rain to expect and how strong the winds will be. Sunday will see more sunshine, and it will be cool and breezy with highs in the 30s.
