Potent storm to deliver rain, flash flooding to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City
After
a warm and dry weekend across the mid-Atlantic states, a potent early
week storm will generate drenching showers and thunderstorms, bringing a
threat for flash flooding to many locations.
The same storm system has already wreaked havoc in the Southeast, causing one fatality in South Carolina due to flash flooding.
Potent low pressure will strengthen over the Ohio Valley on Monday, tapping into abundant moisture from the south, which will provide fuel for the drenching storms.
Heavy thunderstorms will first develop across much of the state of Ohio during the day on Monday, bringing torrential downpours to Columbus, Cleveland, Zanesville, and Youngstown.
By the time the evening commute rolls around on Monday, the heavy rain threat will transition into western Pennsylvania.
Many locations will pick up between two and four inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts possible. Rainfall to this magnitude will lead to flooding of streams and creeks.
