Northeast Braces for Double Dose of Stormy Weather in Days Ahead

It has already been a soggy week for the Northeast and Debby is about to make that worse. After several days of unsettled weather bringing rain showers and storms to the Northeast, what is left of the former Hurricane Debby will bring its impacts up the coast and into this corner of the country. Here is a look at how wet you can expect it to get in the coming days.

Northeast in Store for Soggy Week with Several Rounds of Rain

The rain is not going away for the northeastern U.S. After dodging rain showers all weekend and into the early part of this week, the region will be hit from advancing storms from the Midwest. Just as that weather maker clears up, the remnants of Debby will take aim at the area. All of this will combine for a rocky week of weather as residents try to squeeze out the last of summer vacation plans.

The threat of flooding rainfall will be in place well before Debby even arrives in the region. A line of storms is already approaching the Northeast from the Midwest, expected to unleash strong winds and rain in a zone from the central Appalachians and the mid-Atlantic and up into New England through Wednesday.

While the entire region will not be under the gun the entire time, different pockets will see varying degrees of rain and severe weather. For instance, Monday's gusty storms trained over the Ohio Valley and up through Maine while Tuesday's activity is forecast to dip farther to the south.

Tuesday's weather will be driven by the leading edge of cooler air coming down from Canada. The clash of this cool air with the warmer conditions already in place will set off torrential rain and wind-packed storms from Ohio and through parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. The storm cells could also drop as far south as West Virginia and Virginia. There is the chance that some of these impacts could creep into New York City at this time.

The greatest risk of severe weather will be near the border of Pennsylvania and Maryland and into Delaware and the southern edge of New Jersey. This includes the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore.

By the end of the day Tuesday, the moist and warm air associated with Debby will begin to push north into the frontal zone that is spinning over the southern portions of the Northeast and the northern tier of the mid-Atlantic. The additional surge of moisture-rich air will amplify the existing rain showers over the region.
