Flooding is possible in parts of the Eastern Seaboard as a slow moving storm system will produce rounds of heavy rain throughout the week. Flash Flood Watches continue from New York to South Carolina through Wednesday. Several inches of rain are possible through the week, especially in the Middle Atlantic states.
A stalled front will stream high humidity northward from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. As a second cold front approaches the area from the west, showers and thunderstorms will form. Slow moving storms may pass over similar areas, increasing the chance for flooding.
With a deep trough digging in the atmosphere across the East, the wet pattern will extend throughout the week and may continue into next week. More than 5″ of rain may fall in some areas.
The wet pattern for the East is forecast to continue the next week as @NWSWPC forecasts some places to see 5+ inches of rain. The soaking is favored to continue during Week-2, with elevated chances of above-normal precipitation for days 6-10 and 8-14. https://t.co/ShcAG0RWYb pic.twitter.com/fRiq7Ly5hj
