Flood Watch up for NEPA
BGM
Several waves a warm frontal boundary will enhance lift with
overrunning moisture leading to development of widespread
showers this evening. Areas of heavier rain will be embedded in
the larger area of showers. Better chances for multiple rounds
of heavier rain will be in NEPA and south central NY. Winds will
be strong bringing in moisture pushing PW values to around 2
inches. Given the recent rain, flash flood guidance is low which
is unusual for August. Several models now showing rainfall in
excess of 1 inch with localized areas over 2 inches likely. Hi
res models showing even more. As is, the potential for some
typical poor drainage and small stream flooding is increasing.
