THE SURFACE LOW OFF THE VIRGINIA COAST IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
AND DEVELOP INTO A MAJOR STORM FOR THE NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES HAVE
ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC
STATES. AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHWARD...AND THE COASTAL FRONT REMAINS
NEARLY STATIONARY...THE THREAT OF FLOODING WILL BECOME THE MAIN
CONCERN FROM NEW JERSEY TO CENTRAL MAINE. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THIS END OF THE MONTH STORM HAS
MADE MARCH 2010 THE WETTEST MARCH ON RECORD IN BOTH BOSTON MA AND
PROVIDENCE RI.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 1100 AM EDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
EVENT.
