A strong and quick moving coastal storm will affect the region this Sunday Afternoon and evening. Rain will overspread this area this afternoon and become heavy by late afternoon and evening. Rainfall amounts of 1-1.5″ with isolated higher amounts in a 6-9 hour period may result in possible urban and poor drainage flooding. Across Southern New Hampshire, Franklin, Northern Worcester and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts, the rain will likely end as a period of snow, sleet and freezing rain. At this time, amounts of snow and ice are expected to remain below Winter Weather Advisory thresholds with 1-3″ of snow and ice expected. This will be monitored over the course of the storm.
