Flood Warnings In the Northeast

I hope everyone has had a chance to look at all the flood warnings that are located in the Northeast.

As one can plainly see when looking at the image above they are indeed quite numerous and heavy rain continues to fall across these areas as I am writing this.

Real Wx Services began talking about this possibility happening at least 48 hours in advance of the National Weather Service and issued there level 3 alert for flooding at least 24-36 hrs before the National Weather Service issued there flood watches.

This shows as an example of why it is important to get the information out as soon as possible. Real Wx Services goal is to always stay one step ahead of the NWS and lead the way in weather forecasting .

These same locations that are under the gun for flooding were just under the gun a week ago for flooding and once this system was agreed on by all guidance it became clear that flooding in those same areas was going to be an issue. Especially considering rivers were still running high from the prior rainfall and flooding.

So, in the eyes of Real Wx Services there was absolutely no excuse to wait as long as the NWS offices did to put up their flood watches because it was clear well before the event!

We strive to make our forecasts ones that you can trust and depend on and look to on a daily basis. And we are constantly looking for ways to improve weather forecasts 365 days a year!
