AccuWeather meteorologists say the storms could worsen flooding problems and lead to travel issues in parts of the region. However, some drier and cooler weather is expected to develop in the coming days.
A new storm that was swinging through the north-central United States Thursday will eventually reach the Northeast, where it will trigger more downpours that may renew dangerous and damaging flash flooding to end this week, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
Many locations in the Northeast have experienced relentless rounds of showers and thunderstorms in recent weeks. Some places have picked up one to three months’ worth of rain over the course of just one to three days.
In cities such as Worcester, Massachusetts, and Albany, New York, this month is already one of the wettest Julys on record. This July is currently the fourth-wettest on record in Worcester, with 9.89 inches of rain. Albany has picked up 9.59 inches of rain so far this month and may soon break the monthly record of 9.91 inches that was established in 2009.
As a result of the ongoing downpours, the ground cannot handle any more rain in many locations. Even moderate amounts of rainfall could renew flooding problems on area streams.
“While most areas of the Northeast will see anywhere from 0.50 of an inch to 1 inch of rainfall from Friday to Friday night, the combination of localized downpours, saturated soil, and ongoing high water levels along many streams will increase the risk for flash flooding,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
