954 first-hand accounts of flood events in Massachusetts, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A warm front stalled across Connecticut and Rhode Island, producing thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall. This caused significant flash flooding. Also, wind shear was just strong enough for a few thunderstorms to become severe, with locally damaging wind gusts.

Read the full account →Unseasonably warm and humid air behind a warm front triggered the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms across southeast Massachusetts. Locally heavy rainfall in the urbanized corridor around New Bedford resulted in minor flooding.
Read the full account →A powerful low pressure system tracked through eastern New York spreading heavy rain and strong winds across Southern New England. Heavy rain coinciding with spring snowmelt contributed to river flooding, especially along the Connecticut River.
