A flood watch is in effect for areas south of the Massachusetts Turnpike from 2 PM Tuesday afternoon, likely until midnight.
Rainfall rates could reach up to 2 inches per hour, leading to difficult driving conditions and ponding on roadways.
Dew points in the 70s will make the atmosphere unstable, increasing the likelihood of strong storms.
The heat advisory is in effect for Rhode Island, Connecticut and most of Massachusetts.
Some storms may linger over the same area, called a training storm, which can quickly drop a few inches of rainfall, which can cause flash flooding.
Why this matters: Residents need to be aware of the potential for rapidly changing weather conditions and take necessary precautions to stay safe.
The convergence of tropical moisture from what was once Tropical Storm Chantal and a passing front is creating an unstable atmosphere over Southern New England. This instability, combined with high dew points, increases the risk of heavy downpours and thunderstorms. The primary concern is the potential for flash flooding due to high rainfall rates.
Tuesday's forecast includes 90-degree heat and high humidity. The best chance of seeing these strong storms will be after 2-4 p.m., lasting through the evening as a line of storms drops slowly across the region. Some of these storms may linger over a specific spot for a while, which is called a training storm. When this occurs, it quickly drops a few inches of rainfall, which can cause flash flooding.
