Flash flood warnings that were in effect across parts of the Northeast on Tuesday have now expired. The warnings were a result of Tropical Storm Debby supporting a cold front that moved through the region, leading to heavy rainfall in areas such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
In Philadelphia, a flash flood warning has been replaced with a flood warning after the National Weather Service reported that 2 to 4 inches of rainfall had fallen, with some isolated areas receiving over 5 inches of rain.
Late Tuesday, flash flood warnings expired for Newark and areas north of downtown New York City. Newark experienced 2 to 4.5 inches of rain, while New York City saw rainfall ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 inches.
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to continue impacting the Southeast on Wednesday and Thursday before moving through the Mid-Atlantic region by the end of the week. There is a possibility that the storm could affect the Northeast over the weekend, potentially bringing another round of heavy rainfall.
The Weather Prediction Center has indicated a moderate chance of excessive rainfall, rated at level 3 out of 4, for interior portions of the Northeast on Friday. On Saturday, there is a slight risk, rated at level 2 out of 4, for the same region.
