There's still some heavier rain over eastern and actually central and eastern Franklin County. So Greenfield, Montigue, Irving, Northfield, Orange getting into some uh rain now. This is moving to the northeast at about 20 to 30 mph. So this first wave of rain exits, but there are more showers here off to our uh south and west. So, this train of rain is cruising right into the Pioneer Valley, and that's why we expect some occasional showers overnight and some heavier rain here tomorrow.
