Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 356 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2024 Valid 00Z Fri Oct 11 2024 - 00Z Sun Oct 13 2024 ...MILTON continues to move eastward over the Atlantic Ocean... ...There is a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the northeastern Florida Peninsula... MILTON will become extra-tropical by Thursday evening while moving eastward over the Atlantic Ocean. Water levels from ongoing flooding and storm surge will remain elevated and dangerous until the water has receded. As attention turns to recovery efforts, be aware of areas that remain flooded and do not drive through flooded roadways. Rain, moderate to heavy at times, will continue over the northeastern portion of the Florida Peninsula. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the northeastern Florida Peninsula through Friday morning. The associated heavy rain will create localized areas of flash flooding, affecting areas that experience rapid runoff with heavy rain. Meanwhile, an upper-level trough over the Northeast will produce light rain over parts of the Northeast through late Thursday night. Moreover, another area of upper-level energy over parts of the Central/Southern Plains will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms over the region through Friday afternoon. Further, on Friday, easterly flow off the Atlantic will produce rain showers over parts of the Florida Peninsula through Saturday evening. A front extending from the Northern Plains to the Northern Rockies and then into the Northern Intermountain Region will move eastward to off the Northeast Coast by Saturday evening while extending westward across the Ohio Valley to the Central Plains. The system will produce scattered light rain over parts of the Upper Great Lakes late Friday morning, ending by Friday night. As the boundary pushes into the Northeast, the system will create light rain showers over parts of the Northeast through Saturday evening. Additional upper-level energy will move across the Upper Midwest on Saturday morning and will produce light rain over parts of the Upper Midwest, extending into the Great Lakes by Saturday evening. Furthermore, upper-level energy moving onshore over Northern California and the Pacific Northwest will trigger rain over parts of Northern California from early Saturday morning to Saturday evening.
