A cold front pushing through the Eastern Seaboard was responsible for dozens of reports of flash flooding on Monday, so much so that the Governor of New Jersey declared a State of Emergency for flash flooding.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1944903058842083670" src="https://x.com/GovMurphy/status/1944903058842083670"></div><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 205829-1752548331902.png">The flash flooding in the Northeast on Monday led to airport delays at Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1944864942181511576" src="https://x.com/LGAairport/status/1944864942181511576"></div>The Weather Prediction Center has left portions of the Northeast, including Philadelphia and New York City, under a MODERATE (level 3 out of 4) risk for flash flooding through Tuesday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 205951-1752548401783.png">Areas around the I-95 corridor should expect showers and storms, especially this afternoon. But because there is so much rich moisture in the atmosphere, these storms will be efficient at producing rain. The Weather Prediction Center mentioned Monday morning in their forecast discussion:<blockquote> "...locally 3+"/hr rates are possible"</blockquote>That becomes a problem when you consider the dominant ground cover here, concrete and asphalt. Expect flash flooding to develop with the possibility that a high-end event unfolds, including catastrophic flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia with areas that are of most concern.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 210022-1752548425880.png">Through mid-week, rainfall totals across the I-95 corridor may reach upwards of 5"+.<h3>FORECAST TIMING</h3>With the loss of daytime heating, the Storm Prediction Center has dropped the severe threat, but a few isolated thunderstorms will be possible overnight.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/KA-1752542057662.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the chance for tropical formation to "medium" in orange. There's about a 30% chance in the next 48 hours for formation, and a 40% chance in the next 7 days for the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf. This area is denoted the title AL93, or Invest 93L.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/07-14 rse bams3k 18z-1752548746937.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Models</h1>Since this is an area of investigation, there are forecast models, known as spaghetti plots. According to the NHC, this system is forecast to move west across the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday before moving into the northeastern Gulf mid-week. Conditions remain favorable for additional development, and if it remains offshore, it could become a tropical depression later this week.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/spagh-1752548673859.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Factors</h1>Why is the northern Gulf being highlighted for development in the middle of July? Models favor upper-level troughing to develop over the region toward the middle of the week, which is likely to spur lift and heavy rain.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-10 072740-1752155310312.png">Warm water is a necessary ingredient for tropical formation, and temperatures in the Gulf are plenty warm to fuel tropical systems. Typically, sea-surface temperatures in the upper 70s are needed for tropical cyclone development.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Web 2-1752495335806.png">Water temperatures tend to warm more quickly early in the season in the Gulf and western Atlantic.

It has been 10 days since the devastating floods swept through the Texas Hill Country, and our hearts remain with the communities still recovering. The thought of more heavy rain is the last thing anyone wants to hear right now, but unfortunately, we are monitoring more rainfall. Sunday morning, parts of Texas have seen over 6" of rainfall. For the San Saba area, over 9" of rain was recorded in the last 24 hours.The Weather Prediction Center has kept a MODERATE risk along the Big Bend of Texas. Localized heavy rain will be possible on top of the already saturated soils, bringing more flooding concerns.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 130259-1752519848032.png">Flood Watches continue for Texas for the potential of continued heavy rain.

"Enough of this heat, already" - everybodyIn the middle of July, you don't often get a strong enough system to bring temperatures back some 30 degrees. So enjoy the breath of fresh air where it's available. The Northern Rockies and High Plains are going to be the beneficiaries of this one, breaking the 100 heat in a substantial way. That's the reward for the suffering they go through in the Winter.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-14 180820-1752538107289.png">Some areas will plummet into the 60s on Tuesday, after the mid-to-upper 90s!

Keep the rain boots handy in Florida - heavy rain is expected to inundate parts of the state from the end of the weekend into the middle of the upcoming week. Rainfall totals are expected to average 3-6" in Central and South Florida, with higher totals likely for areas that see multiple heavy downpours. Some locations may end up with 7-10" of rain by the time this storm system moves out.This system could develop into our next tropical system.

Heavy Rain, Flooding Threat Returns to Florida

Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Friday was another busy day with severe weather and flash flooding. A Flash Flood Emergency was issued for Davenport, IA after they picked up over four inches of rain. The winds from Friday's storms were over 70 plus mph!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-12 055745-1752321471706.png"><h1>Timing</h1>Friday's leftover storms will be the catalyst for additional shower and thunderstorm development across parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region on Saturday, as will the frontal boundary that moves into the region. The surface low could also help to spur a few supercells, capable of producing a tornado or two in eastern Michigan, primarily from the late morning through mid-afternoon.<h1>SATURDAY</h1><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/FORECAST-1752352202968.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As the front continues to move, strong thunderstorms may redevelop early Saturday over the central High Plains. Behind the front, a high-pressure system ushering in cooler, drier air from western Canada will settle over the northern High Plains, bringing a temporary break from the stormy conditions. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/PIC 1-1752352628146.jpg">Rainfall rates will remain high, with 1-2" of rain per hour possible.

Now to the West. Salt Lake City, Utah hit the century mark on Friday. SLC hit 100 degrees which makes it the *earliest* 100-degree-day on record for the Salt Lake City area. It beat out the previous earliest 1oo-degree-day of June 5th, which happened last year! The average date for the first 100-degree-day in SLC is in early July! This was a solid month ahead of schedule.
