Stormy Days Ahead for the Northeast and Mid-Alantic

The Northeast has been active over the last few days with strong storms and heavy rain. Thursday, another low from Canada moves in and increases the rain and severe threat. With daytime heating on Thursday along a cold front, scattered severe storms will be possible, bringing a wind and hail threat across the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley.Here's a look at the timing of these storms. As the frontal boundary appears to stall out, this will create lift for storms to be elevated to severe.

Additionally, there is a concern for heavy rain across the Interstate 95 corridor for Thursday and Friday. Thursday, the greatest risk lies across the Poconos and Catskills! These areas could experience a lot of rain in a short period, which may lead to flooding in urban areas or places with poor drainage.

As we look longer term into the forecast, the low pressure system coming into the Northeast will slowly move in and out. Basically, rain chances will remain high over the next few days into the weekend. With last week's cutoff low in the Northeast, the grounds are pretty saturated and more isolated flooding could possible. On the other hand, some of the upcoming rain is beneficial because of the drought!
