Boston 25 Meteorologists have issued a Weather Alert for Friday as heavy rain, thunderstorms, and localized flooding threaten parts of Massachusetts.
The greatest concern is in southeastern Massachusetts, where 2 to 4 inches of rain could fall, with isolated amounts potentially reaching 6 inches depending on where the heaviest downpours develop, Chief Meteorologist Shiri Spear said in her Thursday forecast.
Those areas are under a flood watch through Saturday morning, Meteorologist Vicki Graf noted in a post on X.

When will the heaviest rain hit Massachusetts?
Isolated downpours are possible early Friday morning, but conditions are expected to deteriorate as the day progresses…
