New Rainfall Forecast For Upcoming Week: Flooding Possible

          One after another, rainstorms are expected to impact the northeast this upcoming week. All 7 days will likely include a high chance of rainfall in and around our area. After that, in the southern regions of the commonwealth here in the northeast, scattered storms are expected that could be on the stronger side, so be alert for any watches or warnings issued for your area. Further more, the threat for flooding remains more alive than normal due to the past significant rainstorms that pounded isolated areas with close to 7 inches of rain!

          But exactly how much rain will your area be receiving, well that is a good question with a wide range of answers. First of all, we expect anywhere from 1 - 2 inches of rain in Western and Northern Upstate New York, through the Northern Maine commonwealth. Next, a good 2 - 3 inches of rain is looking to fall in the next 7 days anywhere from Northwestern Pennsylvania, through Central New York, then running through the heart of New England. Also another area that will see 2 - 3 inches of rain is looking to be the coastal regions of the Northeast Corridor, and also into the bulk of Ohio.

          Now lets get into the good stuff, well it could be bad stuff depending on if you have any outside plans; hint hint fireworks. Anywhere from 3 to 4 inches of rain looks prominent across most off Southern New Hampshire and Vermont, also including the majority of Massachusetts. Proceeding on, Central Pennsylvania and Eastern Virginia look to be planning for around 3 to as much as 4 inches of rain. Last but certainly not least, regions from D.C, up into Eastern Pennsylvania, as well as Eastern New York and even Berkshire County, Massachusetts. So this is the general summary of the overall rainfall amounts we expect here in the Northeast U.S., going off the hpc's expected rain totals.

          If you want to see what I am based off of, here is the exact forecast map as of around midnight on Sunday, June 30th.
