Morning Showers and Potential Flooding
This morning, Boston is waking up to steady rain, with some areas south of the city already dealing with flash flooding. According to posts on X from @NWSBoston and @Met_CindyFitz, heavy rain could dump 2-4 inches in spots, especially through early afternoon. A Flood Watch is in effect until 4 PM, and you’ll want to avoid flooded roads—those puddles can be deeper than they look! If you’re commuting, give yourself extra time and stick to main roads where possible to avoid ponding on highways.
A Cooler, Cloudy Afternoon
By the afternoon, the rain should start to taper off, leaving us with cloudy skies and a chance for some sun to peek through, according to AccuWeather. Highs will hit around 70°F, a big drop from yesterday’s mid-90s heat. The humidity is sticking around, though, so it’ll still feel a bit muggy. Winds from the east-northeast at 5-10 mph will keep things feeling fresh but won’t do much to clear out the damp vibe. If you’re planning a lunch break walk, a light jacket and water-resistant shoes are a good call.
Tonight’s Forecast: More Rain on the Way
Don’t put away that umbrella just yet. Weather Underground reports that showers will pick up again tonight, with a steady rain expected and a 90% chance of precipitation. Rainfall could add up to half an inch, and lows will hover around 64°F. If you’re heading out for dinner or an evening event, expect wet conditions and maybe a stray thunderstorm. Keep an eye on radar updates from WCVB Channel 5 or The Weather Channel for real-time alerts to stay ahead of any heavier downpours.
Tips for Staying Safe and Prepared
With all this rain, it’s worth taking a few precautions. The National Weather Service reminds us to stay alert for localized flooding, especially in urban areas. If you’re driving, turn on your headlights and keep a safe distance from other cars. For those working from home, it’s a great day to cozy up with a hot drink and catch up on news or shows.
