March 28 th 2010
Time: 2:50 AM EST
Time frame effected: March 28th 9 PM thru March 30th 12 Noon
Areas effected: Southern New England, Central New England into Northern Parts of New England and southern Maine, NYC, All of NJ, All of Long Island, East Central PA , Southeast PA, central PA, NE PA, All of NJ, Delaware & Eastern Md , All of VA , except extreme Western VA
Low pressure developing over the southern Plains will become a closed low once it is along the eastern sea board, This low pressure area will move East Northeast and be near SW Ohio by 00z Monday.
This area of low pressure will have a large influx of moisture from off the Atlantic and be a very moisture laden system as well as a slow moving system. The abundant moisture and the slow movement of this system will enhance the flood threat across the above mentioned regions. Many of these regions are still experiencing higher then normal rivers from the previous rain events that have occurred.
Rainfall Totals will be a widespread area of 3-5 inches with locally higher amounts with any convective rains and thunderstorms.
Severe weather will basically be confined to the southeast part of the country ..However there is the potential for some general thunder and lightning.
Next issue is the winds... with a deepening area of low pressure and a 1030 high to the north this is going to set up a pretty tight gradient ..so at this point and time thinking winds could before this storm is over be gusting anywhere from 40-45 MPH with potentially higher gusts. Beach erosion is also going to be an issue along with rough surf and high tides.
Once again if you live in a flood prone area..Real Wx Services urges you to take whatever necessary cautions you will need to take in order to keep you and your house safe from any rising flood waters.
