Rainfall totals are still a little iffy because a small wobble in the position of that low could mean the difference between a few tenths of an inch of rain and a solid soaking in Boston. The heaviest rainfall is expected along the south coast of New England closest to the offshore low. TRENDING TOWARD DRY
