Soggy Saturday Evening, Sunday Too?

6:34PM

Some places get beneficial rain, and some places get localized flooding in a situation like this. Heavy showers and thunderstorms which developed over western New England during the day Saturday have moved slowly eastward and finally made it into parts of eastern New England (still yet to cross parts of RI and southeastern MA as of 6PM). The leading edge of this zone, especially south of the Mass Pike, has the heaviest thunderstorm activity, and the slow-moving nature of these storms is resulting in some flash flooding. This will continue to move across RI and portions of MA especially south of the Mass Pike during the first couple hours of Saturday evening, with mostly moderate to occasionally heavy but more beneficial rain to the north. Later tonight, activity will subside. However, with low pressure riding along a front just to the south, expect clouds and occasional showers to last through Sunday.

Monday & Tuesday will bring a break as a small area of high pressure builds in.

Starting Wednesday, tropical moisture will make a comeback and stay for at least a few days, bringing humid weather and daily shower and thunderstorm threats.

Forecast for eastern MA, RI, and southern NH…

THROUGH EARLY EVENING (REMAINING DAYLIGHT): Thunderstorms advance eastward across RI and southeastern MA with downpours and local flash flooding. Elsewhere, rain and showers with a chance of a few additional rumbles of thunder. Temperatures in the upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind light variable.

    3. Closed the driving range in north attleboro early, parking lot flooded out in an hour, torrential

  4. We are at 2.03 very impressive, there is some minor to moderate street flooding, these kinds of torrential downpours remind me of the downpours I would see when I lived in Texas, and I’m not sure I can remember a time when I’ve seen the drains actually not clogged but with 6-10 inches of water above the drain rapidly circling to go down drains

  5. I’m also becoming concerned that the rain just entering NYC will expand and connect with our moisture and could be torrential rains up to midnight,

  7. Raining steady here since 3:30. I already notied a change in Sudbury river which was down nearly to mud near us. I’ve never seen it that low in 33 years here

    1. Hopefully mother nature will get it out of her system in the next three weeks.

      Still no Tom today. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I’m worrying.

      1. We’re good Vicki ! Last 4 days of trip, we stayed close to the campground, where there was absolutely no signal, internet or cell phone. On rt. 87 south in eastern NY…headed home. Boy, did it rain this past Thursday !!

  10. Hievy rain ,drizzle and fog
    temp: 61.3 degrees
    humidity 95%
    dew point 62
    east wind at 11mph
    I have a feeling that the stead 1 am but fog and drizzle with scattered showers will persist through out the over night.

  11. We had 1.63 inches. so far in North Attleboro. Rain is tapering now.

    It was crazy. During the height of the rain, you could drive from one side of town to the other and the intensity was much different.

  12. Did anyone notice that the NAO went ever so slightly postive for a very short time this week. The first time since mid-late May. It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple weeks. The models look like it could stay near neutral, since some are showing quite a bit positive and some showing quite a bit negative.

        1. It’s prob a toss up matt. Not sure how much of an impact Irene had last year but NAO seemed to go pos right after that and stayed there most of winter.

  14. Charlie, did u know Mark Vandette? He must have been close to ur grad class from north and on the football team. He passed away battling cancer if u didn’t already know. So sad and so young 🙁

      1. Horribly sad at any age but when it’s someone young it is tragic. It’s a horrible disease.

  16. yet another round of really slow moving line of showers in western mass. heading east thinking this will effect us later this afternoon

    1. Not entirely the same setup as yesterday. Some showers yes, probably not the t-storm development or the same placement and movement of a rain band.

    1. ick

      Husband decided against heading to Granby for golf. Good thing – course is flooded from what I understand. Would have been a long ride just to turn around and come home.
