Storm to Hit Framingham and MetroWest During Holiday Travel Time

A giant storm is headed our way and will likely bring heavy rain and wind on Christmas Eve.

Rain is expected to start on Tuesday and it should intensify on Wednesday.

Weather forecasters are predicting at least 1 to 2 inches of rain in Massachusetts.

The Dec. 24 Boston rainfall record is 1.33 inches set in 1994. The record high on that day is 61 degrees in 1996. The warm, rainy Christmas Eve is expected to challenge both records, according to 7News’ Bri Eggers.

Rain and potential flooding are expected to not only snarl ground traffic, but the weather system will likely cause air travel delays, which Weather.com called “very serious.”
