Nor’easter Eases Offshore After Drenching New England With Heavy Rain and Coastal Gusts

Showers taper Tuesday as the system departs, setting up a cooler, drier stretch by midweek.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service reported 3–4 inches of rain across southeastern Massachusetts, 1–2 inches around Boston, and localized totals approaching 5 inches.
  • Coastal gusts reached the upper 40s to around 50 mph on the Cape and Islands with a 54 mph buoy reading off Buzzards Bay, leading to tree damage and roughly 4,000 power outages in Massachusetts Monday evening.
  • High surf advisories continue into Tuesday evening with 5–10 foot breakers and localized beach erosion, as breezy conditions and scattered showers linger before gradual improvement.
  • A flood advisory remains in effect for parts of the lower and mid‑Hudson Valley, where a 3–4 foot storm surge is expected to cause minor to moderate flooding during high tide.
  • On the West Coast, a separate storm is bringing rain and thunderstorms to the Bay Area and Central Coast, where flood watches over recent burn scars warn of flash flooding and debris flows.
