People across the Northeast are encouraged to stay weather aware over the coming days as a swath of tropical moisture can result in damaging consequences of eastern Pennsylvania to Maine. “In some locations, a month’s worth of rain could fall in a matter of hours,” said AccuWeather’s expert team of forecasters.
The heavy rain can be insult to injury for portions of New England where downpours on Friday resulted in the closure of U.S. Route 4 in Killington, Vermont, after a mudslide flung debris across the roadway, making it impassable. Flash flooding was also reported in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro areas, eastern Pennsylvania and eastern New York state to close out the week.
