The low pressure system is forecast to continue moving slowly
northeastward across the Ohio Valley this evening and into the
Lower Great Lakes region by Monday. Plenty of tropical moisture
streaming northward and interacting with the system will continue
to produce heavy rain across eastern parts of the Ohio Valley and
much of the northern Mid-Atlantic region Sunday evening, spreading
into the Lower Great Lakes and Northeast by Sunday night and
Monday. The heaviest additional rainfall totals are forecast for
for the central and northern Appalachians, where widespread totals
of 2 to 4 inches are possible, with locally higher amounts.
Significant flooding and flash flooding is likely, and WPC has
highlighted parts of this region within a moderate risk for
excessive rainfall/flash flooding. Elsewhere across the
Mid-Atlantic and into the Northeast, rainfall totals of 1 to 2
inches, with locally higher amounts, are possible within a region
where WPC has a slight risk on the excessive rainfall outlooks.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1100 PM EDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
