MA Weather: Nor'easter Start, Stop Time; Increased Totals

Saturday will be end-to-end rain as the nor'easter dumps what forecasters are now saying is up to 3 inches of rain and brings up to 65 miles per hour wind gusts in parts of Massachusetts. The National Weather Service released start/stop times for the precipitation, expected to be primarily rain for the vast majority of Massachusetts. Some higher terrain in Western Mass. could see snow.

The rain will be falling when most of us wake up. The NWS said it'll start around 4 a.m. It will probably end while you're sleeping, too, anywhere between 12-6 a.m. Sunday.

The World Series has moved to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4, and, if necessary, 5, which run Friday-Sunday, so the Red Sox aren't in danger of getting rained out.

The coastal winds are going to be intense, whipping around at up to 65 mph. Anyone in Central and Eastern Mass. can expect wind gusts of at least 35-40 mph. There's a high wind warning on Cape Ann and Cape Cod, with more weather watches and warnings likely to follow in advance of the storm. Power outages are possible.
