Severe/possibly historic flooding possible in parts of the Middle Atlantic, and then a hurricane to watch...
Severe and possibly historic flooding is possible in the next 24 hours from Northern Virginia, through Eastern West Virginia, Maryland and Central Pennsylvania where as much as 9-10 inches of rain is possible by tomorrow night! This would be historic and would cause some very serious problems with the likelihood of some roads and bridges being washed out in the hardest hit areas. Not everyone in these areas will get those extremely heavy amounts, but some places in those areas may very well, and those areas would be in some serious trouble. The cities of main concern right now would be Washington DC and Baltimore and possibly as far north as about Harrisburg, PA. This amount of rain in such a short period of time is just unbelievable and the flooding could be catastrophic in some areas. Again, not everyone in the areas outlined above will get this flooding, but some locations may very well.
In the New York City and Allentown Metropolitan areas we will be getting off much, much easier, with just a chance of some showers tonight, possibly tomorrow, but especially tomorrow night and Friday, then just a chance of a shower or thunderstorm this weekend, and a better likelihood Monday, and possibly into Tuesday.
This is all due to a very strong upper level low pressure area that will induce a surface low pressure area that will sit and spin over our area until next Monday. Highs will be mainly in the 60's tomorrow, the mid 50's to mid 60's Friday and Saturday, rising to the 60's Sunday through Tuesday.
Next Wednesday and Thursday should then be nice with highs in the 60's.
Next Thursday night into Friday morning we will have a chance of a shower or thunderstorm as a cold front passes through our area, with highs in the mid 60's to low 70's next Friday.
Next Saturday through Monday look nice with highs in the 70's next Saturday, the 60's next Sunday, and the mid 60's to low 70's next Monday.
Next Monday night and Tuesday we will have a chance of showers or thunderstorms as a cold front passes through our area. Highs will be in the low to mid 70's.
We will also have to watch a hurricane that is likely to form in the Caribbean and head either towards the Gulf of Mexico or up the East Coast the middle to end of next week.
Have a wonderful evening and please join me in the morning for the latest information.
