Rain, Wind, Even Wet Snow in Store for Eastern U.S. Late This Week

 

Break out the canoes, round two is coming..

 

Does the canal ever flood?

 

I see one site is calling for close to one inch of rain on Friday, hopefully the brook is down some by then.

 

The Rideau river floods (the canal is part of that). But I can tell you that the creek beside my place, that you can walk across in the summer and not get wet is over 150 foot wide right now, just about what it was a few weeks ago when I wound up with a foot of water in my basement. But no worries, my house is 120 years old and has had a lot of flooded basements.

 

How much rain did we get yesterday/last night?

 

I'm not sure, I think that I saw Massena received 2.8 inches of rain on WWNY-TV.

 

I just found a graph for rain for the last 60 days, they say that both of our areas have received 8 - 10 inches.

You have to zoom in the map to our area and then go down to View Today's Analysis and set it to the amount of days you want.

I hope the farmers have a good growing season and a bumper crop this year.

 

Last year it was to dry.....this year 2222222222222222 wet. I saw an article today (a buffalo website?) that they might lose some crops because of the water.

 

This is for that new storm coming in.
Potential Impacts
While it is too soon to get into specifics on forecast precipitation amounts and wind speeds, here are some general potential impacts from this late-week storm.

• Heavy Rain: Parts of the eastern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Appalachians and Eastern Seaboard may see at least an inch of rain or more. This may lead to local flash flooding, particularly in flood-prone urban, low-lying areas.
• Snow: A couple inches of slushy accumulation are possible in parts of the Appalachians, and potentially in a few areas of the eastern Great Lakes Friday into Saturday.
• Strong Winds: Some stronger wind gusts Friday into Saturday may lead to some local power outages and downed tree limbs in the Northeast, Appalachians and eastern Great Lakes. Where stronger winds combine with wet snow, the outage/tree damage potential will be higher.
• Coastal Flooding: At least a period of coastal flooding is possible along parts of the Eastern Seaboard and some lakeshore locations of the eastern Great Lakes.

 

It sure is, no in-between.

 

That sucks.
