Despite all of the recent rain, there is no major flooding expected except for some of the usual, flood prone areas.
A flood watch is in effect for the entire area through Monday morning, as we are looking at about 1-1.5" of rain in all of Central and Eastern Mass.
Big changes in the local weather pattern are on the way over the next few days. It truly is classic March weather in New England.

Our February thaw has arrived! Over the next three days we will see the most substantial snow melting thus far.

The midday models are in for Saturday's storm. Temperatures looking just a bit too warm for much snow with this one.
So what's the story with the next potential storm on Saturday?

Storm number one is winding down; light to moderate pockets still exist but will become more scattered and lighter through the next few hours.
