ONSHORE FLOW FROM EAST OF BERMUDA CONTINUES TO BRING DEEP MOISTURE

ONSHORE FLOW DUE TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NEW ENGLAND HAS
CONTINUED TO CAUSE COPIOUS RAINFALL THROUGH THE EVENING.  THE

RADAR TRENDS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS HAVE SHOWN THE HEAVIEST
RAIN SHIFTED SLIGHTLY NORTH FROM THE AFTERNOON...NOW FALLING
MAINLY OVER NEW HAMPSHIRE.  THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW BEFORE A LARGE UPPER LOW FROM
THE GREAT LAKES SLOWLY MEANDERS TO THE SOUTHEAST CREATING A
STRONGER UPPER LEVEL FLOW UP THE EAST COAST...FINALLY KICKING THE
SYSTEM CAUSING THE RAINFALL IN NEW ENGLAND OUT TO SEA.
