For several days, the weather pattern over the U.S. will become blocked and slow. That means soaking, possibly flooding rain in the soggy Plains and also where rain is needed in the Northeast.
A soggy few days are setting up across the Northeast, as a slow moving system is in no hurry to clear out. During the next few days, off and on showers and storms will impact the region, bringing the potential for a few isolated severe storms as well. Damaging winds and hail are the main threats, along with the potential for flash flooding where the heaviest storms set up. This includes big cities like New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh. Here’s where the biggest impact will be.
The South will continue to face severe storms and flooding this week as an area of low pressure slowly meanders across the region. Severe weather is possible across much of western Texas and New Mexico on Sunday, with damaging winds and hail being the primary threats. We could also see a few scattered storms along the East Coast stretching from South Florida to Washington, D.C. On Monday, the threat expands to include much of Texas, including places like Fort Worth, Lubbock, Abilene and Austin. This threat will linger into Tuesday as well. Because these storms will be stuck over the same area for several days, there is a significant risk of flooding as well. Here’s where the biggest impact will be.
