Another storm is expected to blow through Saturday night into Sunday morning and with it some heavy rains, strong winds and the potential for more storms like we saw early last week.

A low pressure system will bring steady rain and strong winds into Massachusetts later Saturday night and that will bring heavy rain in Western Massachusetts late Saturday night and early Sunday morning in eastern Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service.

The heaviest rain will last until 10 a.m. Sunday morning with one to three inches of rain falling in this time period. Some areas could receive as much as three to four inches of rain.

Officials say strong winds will accompany the heavy rain, with some areas of the state experiencing gusts up to 45 MPH. The risk for severe weather -- severe thunderstorms and tornadoes -- is low but cannot be ruled out, according to the National Weather Service.

Upcoming Storm Impacts According to the National Weather Service:

• Urban and poor drainage street flooding.
• A few small streams may experience minor flooring, particularly along the east slopes of the Berkshires.
• Downed tree limbs
• Scattered power outages
