Sunday Morning's Weather Discussion - Very Concerned About Next Weekend



It is a little early to start going completely crazy here, but it is getting close.  There is the chance of major flooding for the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia, Central Pennsylvania and Western New York State, and possibly into Southern New York State and Southern New England next weekend.  Flooding would also be likely here, but not as extreme as it would be in the areas I just mentioned, but this needs to be watched very closely.  The European model is currently indicating the potential of 4-6 inches of rain next weekend in the areas I just mentioned, and the possibility of 2-4 inches in our area, which could do some damage in our area.  Leading up to this possible extreme weather event, things should actually be quite quiet and nice, with only a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon, until this strong system moves into our area next Saturday night.  The heavy rains will be produced from a very strong upper level low-pressure area that will move down from Canada and pull moisture in from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, producing the possibility of some very strong showers and thunderstorms with extremely heavy rain.  If you live in a flood prone location or have flooding concerns for your home, you need to keep a close eye on this one.  Stay tuned.  The good news is that the temperatures will be quite mild through the period, with the only cool day being Tuesday, and the warmth should continue well after this 10-day period is over as well.  There is currently no break in sight to the warmth.
