More Heavy Rain on the Way for the East

While the threat for rain across the Stateline remains rather minimal and isolated this week, that's not the case for the east coast. After a dry weekend, the east coast was able to dry out some after heavy rain and flooding last week. Unfortunately the dry weather won't last for them, as more heavy rain is possible this week.

It all stems from a pesky high pressure system located out over the Atlantic called a Bermunada High. This high pressure blocking low pressure systems and their cold fronts from continuing east ward. So, they stall over the east coast drawing in gulf moisture as they sit, and this leads to the multiple rounds of heavy rain. Like last week, this week will also hold the threat for potential flooding as more rain batters the area. While many in the Stateline may only get .25" of rain this week, just to our east over the Ohio River Valley 1-2" are possible. Further east over the southeast and east coast, 2-5" are possible! This pattern looks to linger through the end of the week and weekend.
