The WBZ Weather Team is continuing the NEXT Weather Alert through early Tuesday for a continued windswept rainfall, particularly right along the Massachusetts Coastline.
As of Monday morning, 1-3″ of rain had already fallen across southeastern Massachusetts.
This area will continue to be the bullseye for the heaviest rain for the remainder of the storm.
We expect an additional 1-2″across most of eastern MA and .5″-1.0″ a bit farther inland.
The rain will continue at varying intensity through tonight and into early Tuesday.
The rain will taper to a drizzle/mist during Tuesday morning.
Winds have topped out between 40-55mph across the Coastal Plain and in particular over far southeastern areas.
The National Weather Service has continued the wind advisory through 8pm tonight for the Cape and Islands.
Thankfully, the worst of the winds are behind us, and we will see a very slow, gradual decreasing of peak gusts in the next 24-36 hours.
Therefore, we expect only minor issues today with wind damage and power outages.
Coastal flooding has largely been minor thus far and we have one more high tide cycle to watch.
There will be minor inundation and splashover between 3-7pm during the Monday evening high tide and the National Weather Service has issued a Coastal flooding advisory for that timeframe.
Once this storm passes, the rest of this week looks pretty quiet. Temperatures will largely be below average with highs in the 50s and low 60s.
