A Flood Watch is in effect this weekend with 2”-3” likely and
locally higher amounts. Poor drainage flooding, ponding on the roads and
basement flooding are all possible with periods of heavy rain. The ground is
still partially frozen which makes it harder to absorb all the water. Luckily,
rivers are running low right now. March rainfall totals are running 2” below
average. But smaller rivers and streams will need to be monitored, especially
in areas that receive 3” of rain or more.
As the storm begins to pull away, some cooler air will get
pulled into New England and rain may switch over to a period of sleet or snow
Sunday night into Monday. There is still
a lot of uncertainty regarding the amount of cool air and precip we could get
during this time. But we’re watching Monday morning closely as there could be
trouble spots for the commute. Snow and sleet for the final day of March???
This year, nothing surprises me!
Warmth creeps back in starting on Tuesday with temperatures approaching
60 degrees. Spring at last.
Tonight: Early showers, then some clearing. Low: 36-40.
Tomorrow: Dry start, becoming cloudy with rain developing in
the afternoon, coming down heavy at times through the evening. High
temperatures in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
Sunday: Heaviest rain ending in the morning. Remaining
cloudy and cool with showers and drizzle. High temperatures in the lower 40s.
Chance for snow/sleet in spots at night.
Monday: Early rain/snow/sleet in parts of the state. Late
clearing possible. High temperatures in the mid to upper 40s.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, warming up! High temperatures in the
upper 50s to around 60 degrees.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, feeling like spring again! High
temperatures around 60 degrees.
