Boston is underwater — literally, in some places. This is epic, Noah’s Ark rain. But don’t worry, sunny skies are ahead.

A flood advisory and high-surf advisory are in effect for Wednesday. @UniversalHub has been doing a good job on Twitter covering rain delays and power outages. Boston and state police had to remove a woman trapped in her flooded car on Route 1A North in East Boston. Meanwhile, the Red Sox-Mariners day-night doubleheader is on time (details at the Herald’s Sox blog) after yesterday’s cancellation.

Forecasters say the rain will taper to showers and drizzle this afternoon with temperatures remaining in the 60s. A cold front on its way will bring dry, warm weather for Thursday. Weekend temps will get close to 90.

And now a question for you bicycle commuters: Got any advice for biking to work in this? I wore ski pants over my pants and my WBUR rain jacket, but it didn’t make any difference. Share your wisdom in the comments. (Maybe the best advice is to not bike. I was the only person I counted on two wheels today.)

Rain-related update, from my POTUS Pool Miniblog:

POTUS came back out the front door and went to the takeout window at Nancy’s, joined soon by FLOTUS. She turned to the crowd after ordering, with a big smile, and said “How y’all doing? Drying out? Finally!” The crowd responded warmly.
