What Boston meteorologists are saying about the rain — yes, more rain — this weekend

Today will feature multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rain which may lead to localized flash flooding issues. After showers become more scattered on Saturday, widespread rain and flooding potential returns on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/lr3H1wrlWd

A few stronger to possibly severe storms possible with the next batch rolling in. Storm Prediction Center is monitoring our area for a possible severe thunderstorm watch. pic.twitter.com/wUyUFVr157

Friday Excessive Rainfall
New England in line for more showers/storms today. We're running inches above average for rain in July alone. Any rain (nevermind heavy rain) could cause flooding.

Moderate risk of flash flood means 40-70% chance flooding within 25 miles of any point. pic.twitter.com/IMfKdx5iZA

Sunday Excessive Rainfall
Sct'd storms and downpours return for Sunday. Elevated flash flood risk for all of New England on Sunday, but the highest chance focused across Central Massachusetts and a good chunk of New Hampshire. pic.twitter.com/LiD7cDLh7e

FRIDAY…
Storms exit the Cape this morning with a bit of a lull into mid to late AM. More storms and downpours develop this afternoon in the humid air. Potential for flash flooding with saturated ground #WCVB pic.twitter.com/ZKwnooeMGs

FLOOD POTENTIAL…
Today as additional downpours and storms develop with the potential of a quick 1-2" rain. The ground is saturated so any heavy rain will run off and could lead to flash flooding. Flood watch up until midnight for much of the area. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/k9odPaIrz4

RAIN CHANCES…
Are highest today and Sunday as tropical moisture surges into our area. Downpours with excessive rainfall could lead to flash flooding. Drier air works in for the middle of next week #WCVB pic.twitter.com/7KQcRLh2md

NEXT 7 DAYS…
Warm and humid with the risk of downpours and t-storms greatest today and on Sunday. Few pop-up storms Saturday. A front will push thru Tuesday with the risk of PM storms then finally bring in some drier air and lower humidity for the middle of next week #WCVB pic.twitter.com/1y2pJ6aku2

Done with our first round of storms this AM. Gearing up for round 2. Off and on heavy & flooding rain, and even an isolated damaging wind gust will be around all day across southern New England. pic.twitter.com/TzIZPkjzE2

Saturday doesn't look too bad…compared to Sunday. Isolated storms and showers around in the morning and afternoon, but some breaks between the rain. #glasshalffull pic.twitter.com/Boxj2ig9OD

Then there's Sunday…heavy and flooding rainfall with waves of storms/showers. Around 2-4" of rainfall possible. The excessive rainfall is extremely likely, and will lead to flash flooding, river flooding. pic.twitter.com/1ZG2OWEMJQ

Any dry weather ahead? Sort of. A break late Monday. And midweek before *sigh* more rain/storms leading into next weekend. pic.twitter.com/zspfFQqtmF

It won't be a straight washout today! In fact, enjoy some dry weather over the next few hours. Then stay alert for scattered storms & downpours this afternoon. @boston25 #mawx #nhwx #newengland pic.twitter.com/IQPhpTOuHn

The chance of rain will rise again this weekend. Isolated t-storms tomorrow – more widespread downpours Sunday. @boston25 #mawx #newengland pic.twitter.com/shiqwiRZxo

The flooding risk will remain elevated through the weekend because of intense rainfall this July. This is how far above average we are at this point in the month across #NewEngland @boston25 pic.twitter.com/Hmjk6VtVyS
