## Resource

A major rainstorm is barreling into Southern New England, with flood watches in effect for Rhode Island, Connecticut, and southeastern Massachusetts. Expect up to 8 inches of rain—especially in Connecticut and Cape Cod—starting late Sunday and lasting through Tuesday, potentially overwhelming dry ground after Boston’s driest start to the year. The Housatonic River is already forecast to crest at minor flood levels. While Boston gets around 2 inches, heavier totals will slam northern areas, with cloudy, cooler days Monday and Tuesday. Skies clear by Wednesday, temps climb into the 70s and 80s by Thursday and Friday, though scattered showers may linger later in the week.
