The threat for flooding up and down the east coast has been amplified for the rest of the week. An onslought of moisture will overtake the region through the weekend. With the already battered Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cleaning up after yesterday’s severe weather event, more wet weather will affect the East Coast through the weekend, flooding rivers and roadways.
The consistent push of wet weather is due to the system that brought over half a foot of rain to places in Florida. The slow moving system is sitting over the Southeast and moving tropical moisture all the way north into New England.
