1"-2" of rain is quite likely with some areas possibly topping 2". This can create some poor drainage flooding, and we will monitor smaller rivers and streams for minor flooding.

Meanwhile, winds may occasionally gust up to 25-40 miles per hour across southern New England.
The easterly component to the chilly wind will push our high tides to levels that can produce some minor coastal flooding. The time of the high tide is 6 PM to 10 PM from east to west. Flood prone areas will see 1.5' of inundation.
The storm system will ease away over the weekend and can produce leftover showers on Friday. Slightly drier air will circulate into the state Saturday-Monday. Another chance of rain (surprised?) develops on Tuesday.
