"While some areas got less than an inch, other spots, especially the South Shore, received several inches of rain as of Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. On Sunday, as precipitation began to lighten up across the state, the South Shore continued to experience a steady rate of about 1 inch of rain every three hours, Boston 25 meteorologist Tucker Antico wrote on X."

Western Massachusetts and the Cape remains in a significant drought, while Nantucket and the Deerfield and Millers Watersheds worsened to a critical drought. The EEA will reconvene on Nov. 6 to see how the nor'easter and any forthcoming rainfall affects the drought statuses throughout the state."
