Flash Flood Watch Discontinued In Southeastern MA
But the NWS says some areas could see significant rainfall this morning.
The National Weather Service has discontinued a flash flood watch in southeastern Massachusetts. The agency originally said Barnstable, Bristol and Plymouth counties were under a flood watch until 4 p.m. Friday.
Forecasts still call for heavy rainfall until 11:30 a.m.
The NWS' original prediction was that a batch of heavy rain coming off Long Island will head into the Buzzards Bay region and Upper Cape between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. Some spots will get 1-2 inches of rain, and drivers can expect poor visibility and minor street flooding.
