Quick Shot of Heavy Rain Early Tonight. Flood Watch in Effect…

 

Synopsis:

An area of low pressure move along a cold front and through our area by late tonight. Rain will be heavy at times through early tonight. A Flash Flood Watch has been posted for most of the tri-state area tonight. 1″-2″+ of rain is possible. The ground is still saturated form previous rains and many sewer drains are clogged with fallen leaves so it won’t take much to cause flooding of streets and highways. Also, streams, creeks and rivers remain at high levels. Flooding of these waterways are also possible. Never drive through a flooded roadway. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. The rain will end from West to East after Midnight.

Once the low and front move off the coast late tonight; it’ll set the stage for a precipitation free weekend for a change!  Low pressure in Canada and strong high pressure over the midwest will result in strong Northwest winds on Saturday, at least it’ll be partly sunny. Northwest wind gusts of 40mph are likely. Sunday-Veteran’s Day, will be chilly with abundant sunshine as high pressure moves in. Winds will relax.

Another low will move up the Eastern Seaboard Monday night into Tuesday. More rain is on the way. The coldest temperatures of the season so far will be with us by midweek next week.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.
