The work week will end on a wet and windy note across a large portion of the Eastern U.S.
A large storm system will make its way northeastward from the eastern Great Lakes to southern Quebec today, bringing widespread rain to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Pockets of heavier rain could cause areas of flash flooding and river flooding, with up to an inch of additional rainfall possible today. This is especially true across parts of West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, Vermont, and western Maine.
Widespread gusty winds will be felt from the Midwest to the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Carolinas today. Sustained winds of 15-25 mph and gusts up to 30-40 mph will be common in these regions over the course of the day, with locally higher sustained winds of 25-35 mph and gusts up to 40-50 mph in some coastal and high elevation areas.
Wind Advisories can be found scattered across the Midwest and Eastern U.S., including around the Great Lakes, the Mid-Atlantic and in the Appalachians of Pennsylvania and Maryland southward to North Carolina.
It will remain breezy from the Northeast to the Carolinas on Saturday as the system starts to pull away from the Eastern U.S. Scattered rain and snow showers will also be found in the Northeast.
Remember, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!” if you approach a flooded roadway and stay tuned to the WeatherBug app, website, and social media over the coming days for updates on this event.
