The cold front will continue moving eastward through the Northeast
tonight, ending the rainfall threat there by Thursday morning as
high pressure builds in. Before it does so, locally heavy rainfall
is possible in the Northeast into the evening, with localized
flash flooding possible. Farther south, the front will be slower
to move through the Mid-Atlantic, Tennessee Valley, and Lower
Mississippi Valley regions into southern Texas. Along and ahead of
the slow-moving front, additional widespread rainfall totals of 1
to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts, are forecast for the
Southeast to the Southern Appalachians through Thursday. There is
a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall/flash flooding in these
areas.
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.
