DEDHAM, Mass. — A messy fall nor’easter that moved into Massachusetts late Sunday is continuing to linger Monday, bringing heavy rain and strong wind gusts to some communities, as well as coastal flooding concerns. As of early Monday afternoon, the bulk of the rain was falling across central and eastern Massachusetts.

The storm brought some much-needed rain to the area, with Monday delivering the highest daily rainfall total since May 22. That said, the nor’easter kept Boston and most of Southern New England damp and chilled on Tuesday, but the weather will begin to change over the next few days.

Boston's weather is improving post-nor'easter, with showers and drizzle today, gusty winds diminishing, and a sunny, warmer weekend ahead.

A powerful nor’easter moving along the Northeast coastline on Monday is triggering major coastal flooding and scattered power outages.

With a slight shift to a southerly flow, albeit weak, it will be enough to push our highs into the mid- to upper 60s across New England.
