Northeast to Soon Welcome Brief Break from Rain
"Once the showers and thunderstorms leave..., it will not take long for them to return."
After rainfall records were shattered for a second straight day on Monday, the dry weather that the Northeast is longing for will soon return, but not last long.
The Northeast will enjoy a break from the rainy stretch of weather it has been enduring on Wednesday as high pressure builds overhead.
Gray skies and downpours will be replaced by sunshine, comfortable temperatures and low humidity.
However, residents and visitors should not put away their umbrellas just yet.
While the torrential rain that inundated the Northeast on Sunday into Monday is exiting into Canada, lingering showers and thunderstorms will keep the region damp today.
The good news is that widespread renewed flooding problems are not anticipated today. Very few of the showers and thunderstorms will unleash downpours.
Putting a damper on outdoor activities will instead be the wet weather's main impact. In addition, flight delays cannot be ruled out.
Once the showers and thunderstorms leave the Northeast today, it will not take long for them to return.
As soon as Thursday, the wet weather will once again invade the Northeast as the same cold front triggering severe weather across the northern Plains today arrives.
More numerous showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for the Northeast on Friday as the front stalls.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists will be monitoring the potential for some of Friday's showers and thunderstorms to be slow moving and heavy, which could cause new flooding issues to arise.
The prospect of more rain and possible flooding is definitely not what residents who are cleaning up from recent flooding want to hear.
Most of the flooding endured by the Northeast occurred on Sunday, when New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport was inundated with a record 7.80 inches.
"Nearly twice the normal monthly rainfall was delivered [to the airport] in one day," stated AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Meghan Evans. The airport averages 3.68 inches of rain for the entire month of August.
Monday marked another day of flooding problems and broken rainfall records across the Northeast, though not to the magnitude of Sunday's events.
Daily rainfall records on Monday were shattered in Albany, N.Y., and Worcester, Mass.
The 2.67 inches Albany received surpassed the old record of 1.95 inches from 2004. Worcester topped its previous rainfall record of 1.02 inches from 2006 when 2.38 inches poured down.
Baltimore did not set a rainfall record on Monday, but the day started with road closures due to heavy rain's runoff.
