With a reprieve from wet weather late Thursday night, more rain and potential thunderstorms could be in store for Massachusetts before the weekend starts.

A flash flood warning is in effect until 9 a.m. for Boston and several communities south of the city, including Brockton, Quincy, and Randolph, officials said Thursday morning. The National Weather Service also issued a flood watch that will remain in effect until 4 p.m. for Rhode Island and eastern portions of Massachusetts and Connecticut.

On Thursday at 3:54 p.m. the NWS Morristown TN released a flood advisory in effect until 6 p.m. for Cherokee County.

Some places received several inches of rain, others nearby not so much. Shower chances persist through the weekend.

The start of Thursday’s series opener between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians at Rate Field is delayed because of rain. “We will provide more information as it becomes available,” the Sox wrote on social media before the scheduled 6:40 p.m. first pitch.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Rhode Island and other parts of Southern New England with 2 to 4 inches of rain expected.

We literally carried some folks out on our backs,' said fire spokesman Larry Langford. The heaviest rain pummeled a five block radius near the United Center.

However, locally higher amounts of rainfall, between 2 inches and more than 5 inches, could be possible anywhere in central North Carolina. Areas including and west of Alamance, Chatham, Lee, Moore, and Hoke counties have a slightly greater chance of receiving that higher precipitation.
