Bostonians are bracing for another round of severe weather as the city is set to face rainstorms and potential snow early next week. Following a brief period of pleasant conditions this afternoon with sun and a high near 47 degrees, the weather is expected to take a turn with rainstorms starting after 2 a.m., according to National Weather Service.

Boston 25 News reports that a weather alert has been issued for the weekend, cautioning residents about minor flooding due to a fresh batch of rainfall between 1-2.5 inches. Rivers are expected to continue rising throughout the afternoon, remaining in a minor flood stage. Additionally, Both rain and wind will peak early Saturday morning with wind gusts potentially reaching up to 55 mph across eastern Massachusetts prompting a wind advisory until 1 p.m. This could lead to power outages and wind damage in some areas.
