Synopsis:
A deep plume of moisture will move up the Piedmont along a stationary front tonight and Sunday. The flow from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic will influence this area of rain. The rain could be heavy at times when one of the many ripples of low pressure travel along the stalled front. One to three inches of rain is possible. The heavy axis of rain looks to setup along the I-95 vicinity. There will be breaks in the heavy rain. A Flood Watch has been posted for much of NJ. NYC and areas to the North and East are not included at this time in the Flood Watch. Parts of this region will most likely be included in the Watch in time.
The two bright maps above are the NAM and GFS model. Both show a large swath of 2″-3″ of rain by Sunday evening. Please use caution while driving. If you see a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.
High pressure will move in for the beginning of the week with dry, temperate conditions.
There is no threat of snow this upcoming workweek. The pattern is garbage for snow lovers.
Stay tuned.
