WEATHER ALERT: Heavy rain on Wednesday that could cause localized flooding

[Music] this is a 22 News Storm Team weather alert good Tuesday afternoon the flood watch is up from the National Weather Service and also the 20day Storm Team weather alert is up as well we are going to continue to weather alert through the rest of today and into the day tomorrow because of all the rain that is on the way for tomorrow again the flood watch up from the National Weather Service starting at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon until 7:00 a.m. on Thursday uh this is because of a lot of rain of course that we're going to be getting and also there's a little bit of a snow pack back in the burkers and also in Vermont and New Hampshire there's some snow on the ground and all that's going to likely Mel or most of it and it's going to go down into the Creeks the rivers and stream so we're going to see water levels rise in our creeks and rivers and streams here also some localized Street flooding possible and there's also the chance if you have problems with your basement even you might want to keep an eye on that heading into the day tomorrow and also tomorrow night but Springfield for now very cloudy as we look off to the uh Southwest here over the Connecticut River you can see just nothing but clouds but we're dry for now same for Westfield looking off to the West you can see just a complete cloudy Sky no sun uh we we haven't seen any sun today and we don't expect to see any sun the rest of the afternoon so the breeze is starting to come a little bit more out of the East for now it's fairly light around 5 to 10 miles hour the wind will be directly out of the South as we go through later tonight and into the day tomorrow and with that southerly breeze we're going to see these temperatures really take off well above above average near 60° tomorrow for right now we're in the 30s and temperatures really haven't moved all day because of that onshore breeze really off the Atlantic keeping us a little on the cooler side but watch as temperatures move over the next 24 hours so here we are 1:00 this afternoon we're in the 30s out there for everyone come later this afternoon going into the evening 6 p.m. you notice the temperatures really don't move by much as we go through the remainder of the day going into tonight 10:00 still in the 30s some 40s starting to develop there in the burkers and here comes the breze out of the South by tomorrow morning 6:00 a.m. we're in the 40s even some low 50s there in the birk shears by tomorrow afternoon at this time 55 in Springfield 57 in Orange and here come the 60s 300 p.m. tomorrow afternoon 63 in Springfield 62 the temperature in Northampton with rain that will be heavy as we go through much of the evening and then we see the cold air move in tomorrow night on the back side of that storm so high temperature right around 60 for tomorrow but that warm weather doesn't last too long we see the temperatures crash back below average in the 30s for Thursday and Friday got to watch also for a flash freeze potentially heading into Thursday as temperatures will fall back into the 30s and some spots below freezing so any water and a lot of it that falls for tomorrow could create some ice and slick spots on the road so we'll keep an eye on that but right now it is dry taking a wider view on clouds radar you can see nothing but cloud cover across the region as we go through the rest of the day we'll stay mostly dry and cloudy 300 p.m. nothing but clouds maybe a spot sprinkle in a few spots but that's just about it 600 p.m. looking fine heading into the overnight 10:00 rain showers start to develop and here comes the steadier rain 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday you can see light to moderate rain developing through the morning tomorrow into the afternoon it's really tomorrow late afternoon into the evening here comes the really heavy rain this is what could create some of that uh flooding especially 5:00 p.m. you can see right around the evening Rush Hour some of that dark orange and dark Reds indicating heavy downpours even some rumbles of Thunder camp rolled out and still holding on to moderate the heavy rain around 8:00 p.m. tomorrow and on the back side of this colder air comes in could see a flip back to some wet snow in the Burk shears uh and then this is gone heading into the day on Thursday and it's a cold day on Thursday so how much rain are we expecting for most of us around 2 to 3 in but there could be some spots that see a little more 4 in amounts can't be ruled out in some isolated areas that do get some heavier downpours in terms of the wind most of the morning tomorrow is fine even at noon tomorrow 12:00 not much wind here in the valley but as we go into the evening as those heavier downpours come in associated with that front here comes some of the stronger wind gusts around 20 to 40 m hour so if you do have any of those outdoor Christmas decorations that are the blowup ones you might want to bring them inside or anything that can just be blown around uh in terms of your Christmas decorations you might want to again take those down because of some of the S you don't want to lose those of course with 20 to 30 mph winds so here's what to expect rain for Wednesday heavy is 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. 2 to 3 in localized 4 in amounts possible but I think a lot of us around 2 or 3 in Wing US 20 to 40 mph and again localized Street and River flooding is also possible and that's why the National Weather Service does have that flood watch up so for the rest of the day temperatures really don't move by much 30s to near 40° we stay in the 30s to near 40 heading into the overnight and temperatures really rise for tomorrow around 60° with rain heavy at times and windy for the day on Wednesday and then we fall right back below average in the 30s for Thursday Friday and Saturday we could even see a few passing rain or snow showers on Sunday if you want to stay upd L this forecast you could do so by getting the free twin Tod mobile app
