A potent storm system will continue to move across New England, bringing multiple hazards and travels impacts at the start of the workweek.
The storm will continue to generate heavy rain, damaging winds and even winter weather across the interior Northeast at the start of the workweek.
The worst of the impacts will last through Monday morning, bringing the strongest winds, flooding rainfall, and even a wintry mix and snow across the interior and higher terrain areas.
A good portion of New England remains under a Flood Watch through at least Monday night, with parts of Maine under the watch until Tuesday morning.
Widespread rainfall totals ranging from 1 to 3 inches is expected across a good portion of New England, with locally higher amounts possible. Because of this, minor flooding is likely, especially in prone places or low-lying areas.
High Wind Warnings also remain in effect for much of Maine's Midcoast and Downeast areas, as well as southeastern Massachusetts through Monday evening.
Gusty winds from the south will impact the coast and as far inland as the I-95 corridor, with gusts up to 60 mph. Although the highest gusts could approach 70 mph along Maine's Midcoast and Downeast areas.
Holiday decorations outside should be taken indoors or tightly secured as a safety precaution- and any inflatables should not be inflated. Powerful winds and saturated grounds could also take down trees and power lines, leading to numerous power outages.
Even though the bulk of the storm will bring mainly rain, colder air wrapping in on the backend of this system will like prompt a changeover to a wintry mix or snow across the interior and higher elevations on Monday.
Measurable accumulations across parts of the region will lead to additional travel impacts in the affected areas.
The highest snowfall totals will likely pile up across northern New England, where amounts could reach as much as 6 to 8 inches in extreme northern Maine near the Canadian border.
Accumulations will sharply cutoff farther south and east due to more mixing and or rainfall. Although a few inches of snow could also accumulate on the ground across the Berkshires in western Massachusetts.
Parts of northern Maine remain under a Winter Storm Warning or a Winter Weather Advisory, with a Winter Weather Advisory still in effect for the Berkshires in western Massachusetts through Monday.
