We saw some beneficial rain yesterday with most of central and southern New England receiving a half to an inch and a half of rain. Winds will be a bit stronger than originally forecast.
Gusts to 60 MPH will be possible from the Berkshires to the Worcester Hills and for the rest of New England 40-60 MPH gusts will be possible.
Thankfully we haven’t seen green up yet, so there isn’t a ton of weight on the trees. We could still see isolated power outages, especially if the 60 MPH gusts materialize.
Just over 200 people were without power as of 6:30 a.m., according to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
