Power outages, wind damage, and flooding are the top concerns in Massachusetts on Wednesday as an impact storm packing torrential rain and fierce wind gusts moves through the region.

Steady rain will cause slick spots in the morning, but the storm will intensify during the afternoon into the evening, significantly slowing the commutes with downpours and whipping wind.
“Dress accordingly. You’ll want a rain jacket and the rain boots,” Bston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf said in her latest forecast. “I’m starting to advise against packing the umbrella because we’re going to see some damaging wind gusts later today. So that wind is really going to ramp up and flip those umbrellas.”
WEATHER ALERT
Graf has issued a Weather Alert due to the possibility of up to 4 inches of rain in some parts of Massachusetts and strong wind gusts that could hit 60 mph.
TIMELINE
Graf described the storm as an “all-day” event, deeming Wednesday a “total washout.”
