Precipitation will arrive between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday ahead of the evening commute as an initial burst of snow at elevations. By 10 p.m., the snow is expected to shift over totally to drenching rainfall.
MEMA urged residents to clear storm snow and ice from storm drains because multiple inches of rain combined with snowmelt will likely lead to flooding in many areas.
A widespread 2-3" rain with localized amounts around 4" will fall tonight. The flooding potential will be enhanced by melting snow. @boston25 #mawx #newengland pic.twitter.com/ngZ91YU2bH
