A storm system bringing a threat of severe weather to portions of the Ohio Valley on Sunday will proceed to maneuver toward the East Coast and bring the specter of heavy rain and possible flooding to the Northeast to begin the workweek.
This comes because the region, like many other locations across the country, deals with the effects of maximum drought.
“We’ll get some rain, and a few of these areas need it,” FOX Weather meteorologist Craig Herrera said. “We’ve been coping with some drought conditions out here. We could look ahead to the potential for some flash flooding in the cardboard for a few of you, as a few of these areas will get some pretty heavy rain in a brief period of time.”
In line with the FOX Forecast Center, the specter of flash flooding on Monday into Tuesday morning extends from portions of eastern Pennsylvania, including the cities of Scranton, Allentown and Philadelphia, into Recent York state and southern Recent England.
“A number of the (rain) totals look pretty impressive, especially into the upper elevations. We could get a bit of little bit of lift,” Herrera said. “We could get some numbers closer to 2 or three inches over into portions of northern Pennsylvania, into portions of Recent Jersey, Recent York as well, and right into Massachusetts where we want it as well.”
Generally, 1 to 2 inches of rain could fall across other portions of Pennsylvania into Recent England.
Cities like Recent York City, and Hartford and Recent London, Connecticut, could also see those rain totals of about 1 to 2 inches of rain over the subsequent few days.
The Northeast has seen drought conditions worsen during the last several weeks, so the rain is welcome news for the parched region.
Eastern Connecticut, all the state of Rhode Island, and eastern Massachusetts, including the Boston area, are actually experiencing extreme drought conditions.
The rain that is predicted to fall Monday into Tuesday will help ease a number of the drought conditions, but it surely won’t be enough.
Boston, for instance, is almost 6 inches below-average, having only picked up just over 3 inches of rain since June 1.
And Newark, Recent Jersey, is almost 8 inches below average when it comes to rainfall.
