March 21st Rain Fall Potential Ne/Mid Atlantic

rain

Low pressure developing over the southeast is going to move to near eastern Tennessee by 00z Monday. By 00z Tuesday low pressure will be near SW PA and it will then move NE to off the coast East of Maine by 00z Wednesday.

A cold front from the north is dropping down thru the region tonight and should basically stall across the region and become stationary. Then this same front will begin to press back off to the north late sunday into early Monday!

Level 2 flood alert remains in place for the Passaic River.  1-2 inches of rain is only going to serve to antagonize te flooding from the prior event. So if you live along those areas you might want to take precautions.

Winds should not be as strong with this system as the prior system but there could still be wind gusts to 30-40 MPH along the coast . This could make the surf on the rough side once again.

Soil is still pretty saturated in alot of areas so Real Wx Services is going to at this point and time put the rest of the region of the 1-2 inches of rain on a level 1 for flooding potential, We will take the next 24 hrs and update this statement later tonight around this same time and then make the determination if Level 3 is necessary for the Passaic River territory and if a higher level will be needed in the rest of the 1-2 inch region.

Real Wx Services is expecting this to be a primarily rain event though early on there could be some higher elevation snows mainly in NNY, Northern NH and N VT into Maine (Northern) ..

Stay tuned for further updates on this situation
