The National Weather Service issued a flood watch at 2:34 a.m. on Tuesday valid from 2 p.m. until Wednesday 2 a.m. for Southern Worcester as well as Hampden, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable counties.
The weather service states, “Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.”
“Numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop late this afternoon and persist into part of the evening. The strongest storms will be capable of producing torrential rainfall in a very short period of time. The potential exists for some locales to receive 1′ to 2′ of rain in an hour. This will result in the potential for localized flash flooding, particularly if this were to occur over a vulnerable urban center,” comments the weather service. “You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flash Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.”
