It’s a bit of a dismal start to the work week, as waves of low pressure and a stationary boundary to our south continue to focus periods of wet weather over parts of New England.
Pockets of rain in central and southern New England will continue off and on through the remainder of the afternoon and evening. No widespread flooding is likely, although some minor urban and street flooding is possible and you’ll certainly want to take it a bit slow on the roads.
On Monday night, some heavier rain will fill back in for a time, and an additional half inch to 1 inch of rain is likely in many areas, with a few higher totals possible.

After a rainy start Tuesday morning, expect conditions to gradually improve throughout the day as the rain tapers to showers. Clearing will arrive to northern and central New England late in the day, and a few breaks of sun may try to emerge in southern New England just prior to sunset.
