These were the Mass. rainfall totals for this week’s nor’easter
Some areas of the Bay State received up to 6 inches of rain this week.
Massachusetts saw a lot of rain from this week’s nor’easter.
The rain started on Thursday and continued into Tuesday.
While some areas got less than an inch, other spots, especially the South Shore, received several inches of rain as of Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
On Sunday, as precipitation began to lighten up across the state, the South Shore continued to experience a steady rate of about 1 inch of rain every three hours, Boston 25 meteorologist Tucker Antico wrote on X.
Parts of Duxbury measured 6 inches of rainfall. On the islands, Martha’s Vineyard saw around 2 inches, while Nantucket got around 1 inch.

In Boston, Fenway Park received nearly 2 inches of rain, with 1.91 inches landing in the ballpark.
Most of the North Shore received just above a quarter of an inch, and Worcester got 2 inches.
On Friday, Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs announced that the Northeast and Southeast regions were in a mild drought, down from a significant drought. Western Massachusetts and the Cape remains in a significant drought, while Nantucket and the Deerfield and Millers Watersheds worsened to a critical drought.
The EEA will reconvene on Nov. 6 to see how the nor’easter and any forthcoming rainfall affects the drought statuses throughout the state.
