[3 AM] Model simulation of showers/storms early this morning & later today. Main risk is heavy downpours, which may bring some flooding & can't rule out a few strong/severe storms bringing gusty winds. #mawx #ctwx #riwx pic.twitter.com/ZRhdiax8L8

Highly variable rain totals through southern New England today. 1-3" fairly widespread. Locations that pick up 2-3" susceptible to localized street/poor drainage flooding. pic.twitter.com/fexOeKWGpe

Much better day overall tomorrow. Lower humidity, mix of sun and clouds, mid 70s. While a brief passing showers pops up for 10-20% of the area, they are few and far between and quick. pic.twitter.com/4IHDdFuX2Z

Saturday looks very similar to last Saturday… Sun filled skies, low humidity and temps in the 70s. Sunday looks good too. Warm for the tailgates for the Pats game. pic.twitter.com/Kehtm5Skkk

THURSDAY…
Have your rain gear with you out the door this morning. Downpours shifting into SE MA this morning, but rain fills back in midday. Areas of rain, downpours and the risk of thunder into this evening. Muggy with temps holding in the 70s #WCVB pic.twitter.com/TNgmIcn6Mx

RAIN SO FAR…
Up to 1/2" rain so far in fast moving downpours – More rain on the way this afternoon into tonight bringing another 1-2" with some locally higher amounts. Watch for poor drainage flooding for the evening commute #WCVB pic.twitter.com/Wl3QSIOjSx

Gray. Showers. Storms. Thursday. pic.twitter.com/eErSN0UeTO

Over a 24 hour event, most of the region looking 1-2" of rain. Clearly not needed after the soaking trend this year. Could lead to some flooding later today and into tomorrow morning. pic.twitter.com/KfaNXvFs16
