The threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding will return across the region on Tuesday into Tuesday night as the next major storm system arrives next week. Given our already saturated soil conditions, flooding concerns will only be exacerbated with additional rises on area lakes and rivers also expected for next week and beyond.
Expect pleasant spring conditions over the next 24 hours as post-frontal northwesterly winds allow the Four State Region to dry off under mostly sunny/clear skies.
Here is the daily climatology from select sites around the Four State Region.
