    Flood threat for the East into weekend: Tropical moisture at play

Tropical moisture at play
Flood threat for the East into weekend

Flash flooding is a concern today along I-95 and across the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast.

The WeatherRadar is already active this morning with a soggy start from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to New York. A stalled front will continue to tap into tropical moisture throughout the day, bringing heavy downpours and flash flooding to parts of the East Coast.

The source of the tropical moisture is a tropical low off the coast of the Carolinas. While this low will not develop, it is sending tropical moisture northward and enhancing the threat of flash flooding.

Today's flood threat extends from South Carolina to Connecticut, with the Mid-Atlantic seeing the highest threat of flooding. Cities including Raleigh, N.C., Washington D.C., Philadephia and New York could see quickly rising waters at any time today. Up to 3 inches of rain will be possible with some locally heavier downpours.

By Saturday, the stalled front will move east, but some heavy downpours and the threat of flooding will linger in southern New England. If you want to dodge the rain, make sure to check out the WeatherRadar before heading out.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
