Heavy Rain for the East Coast

While we've been pretty dry in the Stateline lately, our friends on the east coast continue to deal with more rounds of rain. Flash Flood Warnings and Watches dot the east coast after days of rain. Unfortunately the threat continues for periods of rain over the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast regions through the end of the week. Multiple cold fronts have been stalling over the area this week, essentially due to an atmospheric traffic jam. The fronts and low pressure systems that move over these areas, usually don't linger too long, and then
typically continue to move out over the Atlantic. But there has been an expansive high over the Atlantic that is blocking the fronts, and keeping them from moving east. That in turns keeps the moisture and rain over the same area, and with already saturated ground, any extra rain could allow for some flooding concerns. The high should break down some by the end of the week, that could help the area to dry out some this weekend.
