Local meteorologist Dave Epstein has predicted 2-5 inches of rain tonight, Wednesday, March 6th.
When we receive just less than an inch of hard, fast rain, we experience untreated sewage pollution discharges into Alewife Brook.
When we receive more than a couple of inches of hard, fast rain, the Alewife Brook floods over its bank and onto the Alewife Greenway path. This might occur around midnight tonight, depending on local precipitation.
Avoid any floodwater near Alewife Brook tomorrow and Friday. This water may be contaminated with raw sewage, which can cause illness.
