The northern half from the Great Lakes to the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic continue to see calm quiet weather conditions with seasonal temperatures.

Rainfall amounts are substantial and will cause flash flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has a large area from Tennessee south to Georgia and the Florida Panhandle where flash flood risks are elevated. Rainfall amounts are forecast to reach 4 to 6 inches of additional rain in the areas shaded in yellow. This is on top of the heavy rains of up to several inches yesterday.

In the Northeast have reached the point where high pressure is offshore and the airmass is not quite as pristine as it was af few days ago. Long nights and a weak flow off the ocean can bringing some patchy low clouds and even some morning fog in some places. Overall though it burns off fast and we get mainly sunny skies for most of the dayside. Satellite loops show mainly clear skies from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley to the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic. Look for plenty of sunshine today with highs reaching the 80s inland. 70s will be commonplace along the coast.
