Heavy Rainfall and Flooding Concerns in the Southwest; Coastal Low to Impact the East Coast

Deep tropical moisture will lead to widespread showers and thunderstorms capable of producing flash flooding through early next week over the Southwest and Four Corners. A coastal storm is expected to develop off the southeast U.S. coast tonight and is expected to strengthen and bring flooding, dangerous rip currents, gusty winds and heavy rain up much of the East Coast through early next week.

From the NOAA/NWS Ops Center: "NWS technicians continue to troubleshoot a major degradation of the NOAAPort/SBN through which the majority of NWS data flow.  This degradation has been noted since 10:30 a.m. EDT.  This outage/degradation has prevented or delayed dissemination of virtually all NWS products. By design, warning products are given the highest priority in the queue, so most warnings products have managed to disseminate albeit with a few minutes of delay. Other NWS products are waiting much longer in the queue to be disseminated.  Further details will be forthcoming as information becomes available."

We will keep you up to date on whether the issue is resolved.  Should any warnings be issued, they should go out on NOAA Weather Radio and we will post them to our Twitter (@NWSMKX) and Facebook (/NWSMilwaukee) accounts.
