Overview
- Local forecasts show showers will develop Tuesday with the heaviest, downpour-prone rain expected Wednesday under a StormTeam 5 Weather Alert.
- Meteorologists emphasize the rainfall will be uneven in space and time, meaning some neighborhoods could see intense short-lived flooding while nearby areas stay only wet.
- Forecast models and StormTeam 5’s Futurecast are updating continuously, so timing and exact intensity remain subject to change and residents should watch live radar and alerts for block-to-block shifts.
- Temperatures are expected to stay near to slightly below normal through the unsettled stretch, with pockets of drizzle possible Thursday and improving, drier conditions anticipated by Saturday.
- The broader regional outlook had earlier signaled an elevated summer severe-risk pattern, but local guidance is focused mainly on heavy rain and downpour impacts for the Boston area rather than widespread wind threats.
