An already saturated Boston region is bracing for the possibility of more heavy rains — and possible flooding — on Wednesday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for much of the state from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 7 a.m. Thursday.

Here’s what meteorologists are saying about the possibility of additional flooding.

National Weather Service: “1-2 inches of rain, although localized amounts up to 4 inches are possible.”

Dave Epstein: ‘Not everyone receives the heavy stuff, but many areas are susceptible to it.’

Jeremy Reiner, 7News: ‘Scattered showers and downpours slated for Wednesday midday and afternoon.’

Eric Fisher: WBZ-TV: ‘More scattered downpours and storms with locally torrential rain/flash flood potential.’
