It's just another typical summer week in Boston 2021.Ĭurrently, Boston is sitting at the sixth wettest summer on record (17.78 inches) with a real shot at getting as high as number two on that list (just a few more inches). Temperatures will reach near 90 degrees Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with oppressive humidity to boot. We finally rid ourselves of Henri on Tuesday but we will be left with a very tropical-like airmass. As seen with the remnants of Fred last week, this is always a concern with a tropical system or its remnants moving through. We cannot rule out a severe storm or two, perhaps even a spin-up tornado. The window of opportunity for downpours will be closer to 6 p.m. In eastern Massachusetts, it will take a bit longer. Worcester County could see downpours arrive mid-to-late afternoon. We aren't completely out of the woods in central and eastern Massachusetts as the remnants of Henri will get swept up by a front Monday afternoon and evening bringing one last round of downpours through the area. Western Connecticut and western Massachusetts should escape the worst of the heavy rain and flooding, but this needs to be closely monitored (dependent upon how far west the center of Henri moves inland). In fact, with some upsloping in the elevations in New York State, its not out of the question that localized rainfall totals could top a foot! Needless to say, there are going to be some major flooding problems in eastern New York. Parts of that area will receive 5-to-10 inches of rain when all is said and done. The heaviest rainfall from here on out will occur in western New England and eastern New York, to the left side of Henri's track. Photos: Tropical Storm Henri Hits New England Peak gusts in Massachusetts included 55 mph in Falmouth, 54 mph in Westport and several other between 45-to-55 mph. Winds topped out at 78 miles per hour at Point Judith, Rhode Island and 68 mph in Newport and Block Island. Let's hope that will be the last of the landfalls this year. Before this year, we hadn't had a landfalling tropical storm in 15 years (Beryl in 2006 on Nantucket). Unbelievably, this is just about the exact same location where Tropical Storm Elsa made landfall earlier this summer. BOSTON (CBS) - Henri made landfall near Westerly, Rhode Island Sunday afternoon at approximately 12:15 p.m.
