Large storm system to bring more soaking rain, flooding risk to Massachusetts
BOSTON - Sunny skies will give way to heavy rain later this week as another slow-moving storm system moves in. Here's the latest from the WBZ NEXT Weather Team on conditions for Red Sox games at Fenway Park, when Massachusetts could see rain, and an early look at the Boston Marathon forecast.
Fenway Park forecast
It sure was nice to see blue skies for Opening Day. As you all know, April at Fenway Park can be "at your own risk."
There won't be much, if any, sunshine over the rest of the week. In fact, there is a threat of showers at Fenway both Wednesday and Thursday (likely no washouts).
Friday may be a different story ... we are expecting a steadier and heavier rain.
And that is our NEXT Big Thing/NEXT storm.
When does the rain storm start in Massachusetts?
The heaviest rain looks to fall between Thursday night and during the day Friday.
There is a risk of another inch or more and some renewed flooding.
This is going to be another large storm system, covering much of the northeast and East Coast.
It will also be slow to exit (again) ... and therefore it is likely that some showers will linger into the weekend.
More on that to come in the days ahead.
Boston Marathon weather forecast
It is early, but, right now, the weather looks very nice for the Boston Marathon Monday!
It appears the sunshine will return (much like this past Monday) along with mild temperatures (60s).
Perhaps a bit too warm for runners, but great for spectators and those over at Fenway Park for the Red Sox game.
