Heavy Rain Looks Very Likely During Tuesday Night & Wednesday: A strong low pressure system is expected to track across New England during Tuesday night and Wednesday bringing with it heavy rain with the potential for about 2 inches of rain accumulation. The combination of snowmelt and the heavy rain is likely to lead to flood issues across the area.
Precipitation is expected to start out as snow around 6-8 pm Tuesday evening and accumulate about 1 to 2 inches before it changes to rain by about 10-11 pm Tuesday night.
Rain, which will fall at a heavy intensity at times, is then expected throughout the remaining parts of Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. Rain then lightens up in intensity by late Wednesday morning with periods of light rain continuing through Wednesday afternoon.
Rain ends during Wednesday evening.
Around 2 inches of total rainfall can be expected during Tuesday night and Wednesday. This heavy amount of rain combined with a melting snow pack and a very saturated ground is quite worrisome in terms of flood issues.
I would definitely plan on substantial amounts of ponding on roads, as well as flooding of underpasses and areas of poor drainage. Stream and river flooding is also something that’s a serious concern as substantial rises in the area rivers and streams are likely.
In addition to all of this, it looks windy throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning with southeast winds gusting up to 40-45 mph at times.
