New Round of Severe Weather Possible in the Midwest
09/18/24 9:05am ET
Good morning everyone. Our low pressure that brought heavy rain and strong winds to North Carolina & South Carolina, has parked itself in the Mid-Atlantic with nowhere to go for another few days. This will impact the forecast for the Northeast as we extend clouds and showers across the region into Friday.
In southeast New England, parts of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts, could see some heavy showers and thunderstorms tomorrow as low pressure sends another spoke of energy from off of the ocean. We could also see some of that action clip eastern Long Island. Gusty winds and localized flooding in poor drainage areas will be the biggest hazards.
It also impacts the Mid-Atlantic, with coastal flooding issues for Virgina, Maryland, and Delaware due to the prolonged fetch of onshore winds that’ll help pile up the water. We are also seeing scattered gusty heavy showers and thunderstorms scattered about the region, with some localized rain flooding possible. Expect those tropical showers and rumbles to continue throughout the day.
