A major weather system is currently sweeping across the country, bringing with it significant rainfall for many regions. While not classified as severe weather, the system is expected to impact a wide area, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico up towards Canada and covering large portions of the southeast, Midwest, and eventually the Mid-Atlantic and east coast.
The low-pressure system is forecasted to move through the Great Lakes and Midwest on Thursday, affecting states such as Indiana and Ohio before progressing towards the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Friday. This movement will result in periods of substantial rainfall, with a potential risk of flash flooding in cities like Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Lexington, Columbus, and Pittsburgh.
Although the risk of severe weather is low, residents in the affected areas are advised to stay alert and prepared for possible flash flooding. Rainfall amounts are expected to vary, with some isolated areas receiving up to two inches of rain.
As the system moves eastward, showers are anticipated to continue overnight into early Friday morning before gradually clearing out. The weather is expected to warm up as the system passes through, leading to drier conditions on its trailing edge.
Notably, South Carolina is likely to experience the impact of this weather system from Friday into Saturday, with some rainfall expected in the region during that period. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the weather forecast and take necessary precautions as the system progresses.
