BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Strong wind gusts were causing damage and power outages across the Bay State Wednesday afternoon.

Damage and delays at Logan International Airport meant more than 90-minute delays for some flights.

Police in Ashland, Mass., said power was out in the downtown area of the community, and in Bridgewater, high winds snapped trees and power lines.

NewsCenter 5's Jack Harper reported that at Pleasant and North streets in Bridgewater, Boston Edison crews were working to restore power after a large tree went down, taking lines with it.

Power outages were being experienced all over the town and Bridgewater fire and police crews were expecting to be busy with problems all afternoon.

"We've got power out all over town. We got a big tree down here. There's primaries out all over. Right here is a main concern, with the high voltage on the top lines ... Forest Street, South Street, center of town, it's very dangerous out there," Bridgewater fire Capt. Cliff Whiting said.

The National Weather Service expanded its high wind warning to include all of Massachusetts.

Reports of damaging wind gusts of 50 mph or higher were being reported around the state. A gust of 66 mph was measured late Wednesday morning atop the Blue Hills in Milton, Mass.

The National Weather Service said rain and very strong winds will be with us into the early evening. The rain will be heavy at times with rainfall of 1 to 2 inches possible.

The heaviest amounts were expected in the Connecticut Valley and the east slope of the Berkshires, an area that was already waterlogged from the last storm.

Winds will also be strong, especially across higher terrain. With sustained speeds of 25 to 40 mph expected during the late morning and afternoon. Some wind gusts may approach 60 mph.

The storm will swing a cold front through during the afternoon. Once the front passes the rain will taper off. However, winds will pick up out of the west and draw in colder air.

Temperatures will fall through the night with values at or below freezing by morning. This will cause any lingering wet spots to freeze, which will not help the Thursday morning commute.

A flood watch was also in effect for the northern portions of Worcester and Middlesex Counties Wednesday, but at least the storm won't bring snow. It's way too warm for that, with Boston reporting a temperature of 59 degrees at noon.
