<p>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.</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1945122429342282186" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1945122429342282186"></div><p><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. Many areas broke numerous records for the day.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-15 061632-1752581880381.jpg">With so much rain falling in such a short amount of time, area creeks and rivers jumped quickly. The Leutenant Run Creek in Petersburg, VA, more than doubled it's height in less than 2 hours. That led to multiple water rescues and evacuations with a <strong>Flash Flood Emergency</strong> issued.</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-15 061649-1752582619979.jpg">MORE FLOODING POSSIBLE</h1><p>We could see a renewed round of storms this afternoon, which could bring us right back to where we started. These storms are more likely to be around the Virginia-West Virginia area, but we've seen what some topographical features can do with heavy rain.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-15 143117-1752611496574.png">Our next system pushes in from the west and will bring a more widespread threat of heavy rainfall. The one difference between Monday's rain and Wednesday-Thursday's batch is that it won't be everywhere. But anyone who gets caught under one of these storms will have to contend with the efficient rain producers and the slow movement of them. Here's what it could look like over the next few days:</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-15 06-35-31-1752582963362.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p>

Strong July Cold Front Sparks Severe Weather

<p style="text-align: justify">The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the chance for tropical formation late Monday. There's now about a 40% chance in the next 48 hours of formation. This area is denoted the title AL93, or Invest 93L, since they're running the hurricane models on this area of low pressure. The development of tropical characteristics, however, may only matter in name alone.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer invest futurecast-1752602957570.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Models</h1><p>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.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer invest spag-1752606518967.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Factors</h1><p>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. An area of high pressure will slide west by Thursday, helping steer our system to the north, into land. Where that happens is still up in the air. It will depend on the strength of both the system and the high.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer invest steering-1752603031336.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>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.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Web 2-1752495335806.png"></p><p>Water temperatures tend to warm more quickly early in the season in the Gulf and western Atlantic. However, with the presence of some elevated wind shear, conditions won't be the richest for development. That interaction with wind shear and some lingering dry air could help limit any rapid development.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-15 055224-1752580353462.jpg">As we continue to iron out the details of this system, check back with the forecast, especially if you have interests along any of the Gulf Coast states.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

Some locations may end up with 7-10" of rain by the time this storm system moves out.</p><p>This system could develop into our next tropical system.

<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">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.
