A day after heavy rain pummeled Massachusetts, causing floods and snarling travel on Thursday, Bay Staters can expect a return to a more normal weather pattern on Friday and through the weekend. Temperatures on Friday are expected to rebound to the mid-to-high 80s, with humidity making it feel around 90. That said, it won’t be completely dry.

Unsettled weather today could product thunderstorms capable of causing flash floods in parts of Massachusetts.

A deluge dumped 6 inches of rain — maybe more — in a wet and wild commute. The flash flooding was so perilous the National Weather Service urged drivers to “turn around, don’t drown” as flash flooding fueled by overnight rains crippled the Thursday morning commuter crawl.

The National Weather Service released an updated flood watch at 8:53 a.m. on Thursday in effect until 4 p.m. for Middlesex, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bristol and Plymouth counties.

According to the National Weather Service, there are areas outside of the six counties that are likely to experience flooding. These areas include Boston, Brockton, Quincy, Newton, Brookline, Weymouth, Braintree, Natick, Randolph, Franklin, Needham, North Attleborough, Norwood, Milford, Milton, Stoughton, Attleboro, Dedham, Walpole, and Mansfield.

The extreme heat is returning to Massachusetts and the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory because of how hot it will feel through Monday.

The National Weather Service forecaster's discussion added that temperatures will be in the lower 80s and upper 70s Friday, with nighttime lows in the 60s. The report stated the wind will be less than 25 knots, which is equal to around 28 miles per hour.

She added, "On Wednesday, it'll be quite hot, but the difference is the heat index won't be as high. In other words, it won't feel like temperatures are in the 100s. It'll feel more like 95-97 degrees, which may not seem like a lot. But when you've had a couple of days of 100-degree heat, it makes a difference."

Communities south of Boston have seen as much as 4 and a half inches of rain, with a flash flood warning still in effect.
