...Heavy Rain and Snow over parts of Northeast/Mid-Atlantic will mostly
come to an end today with lingering Excessive Rainfall concerns over
Downeast Maine...

...Below average temperatures for much of Eastern U.S. today...


Things will quiet down considerably once the dynamic low pressure system
that is producing snow over the Northern/Central Appalachians and
rain/thunderstorms over the East Coast moves into the Atlantic later
today. In the meantime, showers and thunderstorms are expected across the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Coast. There's a Slight Risk of Excessive
Rainfall for parts of Downeast Maine where high rain rates convection may
cause Flash Flooding through this afternoon. Moderate to heavy snow is
also likely within the cold sector of this system over portions of
northern New England and the interior Northeast today.

Temperatures will be below average across much of the East Coast behind
the strong cold front moving into the Atlantic today. High pressure will
build in over much of the central and eastern U.S. over the coming days,
which will lead to seasonable temperatures for those parts of the country.
Freeze Warnings are in effect for portions of the San Joaquin Valley
tonight and Tuesday night as temperatures fall to as low as 28 degrees.
Mountain snow over portions of the Northern Rockies above 4000' may lead
to reduced visibility and slick roads today. Otherwise, the lower 48 will
be relatively quiet for the start of the work week.
