Boston, MA – A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain and damaging winds to Massachusetts today, with hazardous conditions expected to intensify tonight. Localized flooding and power outages are likely, especially along the I-95 corridor and in urban areas prone to drainage issues.
According to the National Weather Service, a High Wind Warning will take effect at 3 p.m. and continue through early Thursday morning. Wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph, posing risks to trees, power lines, and high-profile vehicles. Rainfall totals are predicted to range from 2-4 inches, with isolated areas seeing more. Officials warn of potential flash flooding in low-lying areas and urban streets.
Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items, prepare for possible power outages, and avoid driving through flooded roadways. Travel could be particularly dangerous during the evening commute as visibility diminishes and road surfaces become slick.
