Northeast U.S. Faces Life-Threatening Flash Flooding As Torrential Rains Persist

This image for Sunday, July 16, 2023, shows the amount of water in the atmosphere that could be unleashed by downpours and thunderstorms. This plume of moisture is forecast to pivot into much of New England Sunday night. ACCUWEATHER.

As more rounds of torrential downpours crawl through the northeastern United States, the likelihood of damaging and life-threatening flash flooding will increase into the middle of next week, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. Flooding may occur in some areas that were hit hard last Sunday and Monday and is also likely in many areas that missed out on the deluge in recent days.

Meteorologists at AccuWeather have raised concerns about a high-powered rainmaker, known as an atmospheric river, which may affect the Northeast from early Sunday to Sunday night. “The atmospheric river will drench the region with a “fire hose” of moisture,” said weather experts.
