Moist air continues to grip New England and there isn’t much change in how the air will feel over the next few days, although each day will be a little different when it comes to the timing, intensity and location of showers and thunder that strikes. They thrive in that humid environment.
Although most of New England has a high chance of showers and thunder starting in the afternoon, most of the action at night will be centered in the deep interior, particularly in the western half of New Hampshire to eastern Vermont, where they can localized flash flooding occurs.
Our weather team has issued a First Warning for this threat of storm and flooding west of Boston from gusts of tropical rain. The threat of localized flooding will impact traffic during night transit.
A new round of downpours and thunder arrives before dawn Tuesday and lasts through Tuesday morning, promising to slow traffic over large puddles on the highway. If the downpours last long enough over Providence or New Bedford it could cause flash flooding in or near these cities Tuesday morning, but there will most likely be widespread standing water on roads in eastern New England through for the rain to lessen and disappear later on Tuesday, leaving only scattered showers or an isolated thunderstorm by Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday seem to be a little easier: humid air, highs near the 80s, and scattered showers and thunder mostly concentrated in the afternoon through early evening.
