The low pressure system is forecast to continue moving slowly
northeastward across the Ohio Valley tonight and into the Lower
Great Lakes region by Monday. Plentiful tropical moisture
streaming northward interacting with the system will continue to
produce heavy rain across eastern parts of the Ohio Valley, the
Lower Great Lakes and much of the northern Mid-Atlantic region
overnight, spreading into the Northeast by Monday morning. 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 is ongoing, and WPC has highlighted parts of this region
within a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall/flash flooding.
Elsewhere across the Mid-Atlantic states 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 outlook.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 500 AM EDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
