Synopsis:
***Flash Flood Watch for NJ, Eastern PA, Rockland, Orange and Sullivan counties Today***
A large area of low pressure will affect the Northeast today. A period of heavy rain and thunderstorms is likely this morning as a deep Southern flow ahead of a cold front works in. One to three inches of rain is possible during the morning commute through early afternoon. Flooding of streets and highways is possible. Once the front moves through by midday the rain will taper off to scattered showers and there maybe some occasional peeks of sun. It will be mild. Winds will be strong early Monday then diminish during the afternoon.
The low will pull into Canada on Tuesday but upper level energy will work through. This will result in plenty of clouds and scattered afternoon showers.
The sun will return Wednesday, but a rapidly moving low pressure will move through on Thursday with another round of showers. The sun will once again return Friday. Temperatures will remain below average through the period.
Stay tuned.
