Weather: A Red Alert is in place for the entire day Sunday due to the risk of flash flooding.
It was another hot and humid day Saturday. The steamy conditions yielded another active day for showers and storms across the region. Saturday, the majority of the activity was over New Jersey, where heavy rain resulted in numerous reports of flooding once again.Saturday night, we'll see a brief break in the action before it ramps up again toward dawn. Our low will be a steamy 75.Unfortunately, Sunday's atmospheric setup is looking very similar to last Sunday.
In what can be viewed as our version of an"Atmospheric River," copious amounts of moisture will flow into the area from the tropics, thus setting the stage for flooding rains to occur. Forecast models have struggled with the exact placement of the axis of the heaviest rain, but they do agree that a widespread heavy rain event is underway.Average rainfall totals will be at least 1-2 inches, with totals of 3-5 inches very common, as well as isolated totals even higher.
