The low pressure system is forecast to continue moving slowly
northeastward across Lake Erie into southeastern Ontario through
tonight. Modified tropical moisture streaming northward and
interacting with the system will continue to produce heavy rain
across portions of Pennsylvania into New York, eventually reaching
portions of New England later today. The heaviest additional
rainfall totals are forecast for Pennsylvania, New York and
portions of New England with widespread totals of 1 to 2 inches
expected with locally higher amounts possible. Significant main
stem river flooding is ongoing across portions of northern
Maryland and Pennsylvania along with areal flooding away from
rivers and streams. Farther east, WPC has highlighted parts of the
northern Mid-Atlantic states and Northeast within a Slight Risk
for excessive rainfall/flash flooding.

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.
