According to the Weather Channel, the rain will begin in Rhode Island around 2 p.m. In Massachusetts, it will start in the Worcester area as early as 5 a.m., the Framingham area around 11 a.m., and the Boston area around 5 p.m. Then it's going to intensify and last for quite awhile heading into Monday.
