The break in the stormy pattern for the Northeast will be a short one as an atmospheric traffic jam directs more rounds of rain and locally severe thunderstorms into the region from late this week to early next week. As more rain pours down on the saturated ground, the potential for significant flooding will return to the region, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
A large storm will meander near the shores of Hudson Bay, Canada, into next week. At the same time, disturbances in the jet stream will spin around the storm, like spokes in a giant wheel, and cause showers and thunderstorms to gather over the Midwest and pivot into the Northeast in the days ahead. As these disturbances approach the Northeast, they will accumulate moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as well as the warm waters of the nearby Atlantic.
