Stormy Skies Over New England: Wind, Floods, and Quick Temperature Swings

A Stormy Monday Evening

Monday in Boston transforms the evening commute into a slow, slippery ordeal. Steady rain drenches the city, turning roads into slick mirrors of standing water. Visibility drops as downpours intensify, while distant rumbles hint at thunder threatening to crash into the gloom.

Flooding Concerns Rise

Heavy rain combined with melting snow raises flood risks in rivers and low-lying areas. The warning extends until Tuesday morning, targeting zones prone to flooding or poor drainage. Minor overflows are possible, but no major flooding is expected—though some streets may resemble shallow rivers.

Wind Joins the Chaos

Boston and southern regions brace for High Wind Warnings, with gusts hitting 60 mph through early Tuesday. Central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire face a milder Wind Advisory. Expect downed branches, power line disruptions, and potential blackouts. Secure loose outdoor items—chairs, signs, or decorations—before the storm hits.

Tuesday: Windy and Chilly

Tuesday drags on with lingering winds and a biting chill. Temperatures struggle to escape the 40s and 50s, making the air feel even colder. The weekend offers a glimmer of warmth, but it’s fleeting.

Spring’s Brief Appearance

Friday’s arrival hints at spring, but the reprieve is short-lived. More weather swings loom on the horizon.
