MA Weather: Timeline For Downpours; Flash Flood Watch

A flash flood watch has been issued for nearly all of Massachusetts before what's left of Tropical Depression Florence travels to New England. The Monday forecast upped the amount of rain that could fall locally to 6 inches, with 2-3 inches generally expected.

The National Weather Service said rain will begin to enter from the west around 10 p.m. Monday, but it won't spread east until overnight. Expect a soaking wet morning commute. The rain is slated to stop Tuesday between 7-10 p.m. for most of the Boston area.

See the maps below for expected precipitation times.

Much of the state can still expect between 2-3 inches. Residents to the west and north of Boston are expected to get the worst of it, but the NWS said there is still some uncertainty about where the most will fall.
