The National Weather Service said after an initial round of rainfall early Tuesday, the precipitation is expected to end briefly.
But conditions from the coastal storm are expected to deteriorate starting Tuesday afternoon, with the peak impacts predicted to occur Tuesday night into Wednesday.
The strongest winds are expected to occur overnight.
The service has issued a high wind warning for Cape Cod and the coast, and a flood watch remains in effect for most of the region.
