Snowmelt caused by warm temperatures, heavy rain fuels flood concerns in the Northeast
More than 240 million people across the US will be getting some relief from the recent bitter blast of arctic air, but for those living and working in the Northeast, that increase in temperatures coupled with rounds of heavy rain expected to push through the region this week has forecasters concerned about flooding due to rapid snowmelt.
As we approach the start of the new workweek, temperatures will rise into the 40s and 50s in the Northeast, while northern New England will stay on the cooler side. The FOX Forecast Center said an area of low pressure moving along the US-Canada border in the Midwest will combine with a surge of moisture that’s also fueling a flood threat in the South.Cities like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Columbus, Ohio, and Charleston, West Virginia, will likely need the umbrellas to start the day.
Wednesday is expected to be a washout, and NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center has placed millions of people from Connecticut to Maine, including Boston, in a Level 2 out of 4 risk for flooding. 'Desperate' sheriff's deputy takes to porn for cash but resigns when her raunchy double-life is exposed
