BOSTON - A powerful storm system is set to deliver a Wednesday washout in Massachusetts, complete with periods of heavy rain, localized flooding and damaging winds. There are numerous hazards and alerts associated with this highly anomalous storm system.

A powerful storm system will come to Massachusetts overnight into Wednesday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds and a surge of unseasonable warmth. Localized flooding and wind damage are possible.
