Grab the umbrella: Another storm's coming to Boston and eastern Mass.
Western Mass. could see some April snow. A springtime nor'easter is set to hit Boston and eastern Mass. The National Weather Service predicts a significant chance of coastal flooding, strong winds, and lots of rain starting this afternoon and continuing through Thursday evening. Expect roughly two inches of rainfall around Boston and up to 40 mph winds. For areas west of Boston, forecasts predict a wintery mix of rain, sleet or snow, which is expected to worsen in Franklin and Hampshire counties where a full "winter storm watch" is in effect. The strong winds and high tide could cause 8-14 foot surf. Despite this, skies should clear early next week, just in time for the eclipse.

Get ready for another wet one as a springtime nor'easter blows into the Boston area later today Why it matters: There's a distinct chance of coastal flooding, strong winds and lots of rain starting this afternoon and continuing through Thursday evening.
• Expect roughly two inches of rainfall around Boston and up to 40 mph winds.
Zoom in: For areas west of Boston, forecasts predict a wintery mix that won't be able to decide whether to be freezing rain, sleet or snow.
• It'll be worse way out west in Franklin and Hampshire counties where a full "winter storm watch" is in effect, according to the National Weather Service.
The rain is predicted to begin Wednesday morning and become steadier and heavier as the day goes on.
• If the rain is still pouring down by Thursday night's high tide, things will get messy in coastal areas.
• The strong winds and high tide could mean 8-14 foot surf.
What's next: Forecasters warn some nasty weather could linger even after the storm moves on from Boston Thursday night, with rain forecast into the weekend.
Yes, but: Skies should clear early next week, just in time for the eclipse.
