That’s right… it’s about tp to get wet again. Key Points:
- Heavy Rainfall: Expect 1-2 inches of rain from Thursday night to Friday, with some areas in Orange County possibly seeing up to 3 inches.
- Flooding Concerns: Urban and poor drainage areas might experience flooding during the Friday morning commute, but rivers and streams should stay within their banks.
Meteorological Breakdown: A low-pressure system will move from the mid-Atlantic to near New York City on Thursday night, bringing widespread rain to the region. This system will slowly move into New England by Saturday, leading to gradual drying.
European Model Rainfall Friday
The weather pattern favors significant rainfall due to strong atmospheric lift and a broad southerly flow that will bring deep moisture into the Northeast. Although the conditions are not expected to cause extreme flooding, higher elevation areas could see higher rainfall totals of 2-3 inches.
Flooding Risks: While river forecasts show some rises, they are expected to stay within their banks. Despite recent rainfall, the probability of more than 2 inches of rain is within manageable levels. However, urban and poor drainage areas might experience flooding during the Friday morning commute. Currently, no Flood Watches are issued, but this could change if conditions worsen.
Stay safe and plan accordingly for the upcoming rainy weather! 🌧️
