Our lawns had a decent drink of water Monday, as southern New England received over 3 inches of rain in some spots while southern Maine was issued a Flash Flood warning Monday evening due to rainfall amounts ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches. A record daily maximum rainfall was also set in Portland, Maine.
We've seen a mostly cloudy day Tuesday morning sprinkles and fog. Our afternoon will bring the potential for scattered storms moving west to east as a frontal boundary pushes through.
These thunderstorms may bring localized strong wind gusts and lightning. While heavy rain may accompany the strongest storms, our rainfall amounts won’t be as widespread as Monday. These thunderstorms will likely not be as slow either.
