9/06/11 It's Going To Rain

This mornings weather map shows a cold front stretching from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. This will act as a conveyor belt to bring tropical moisture northward from what was Tropical Storm Lee, low over Georgia.

Hurricane Katia is in the bottom right hand corner, she poses no threat to the US, with the exception of large swells at the beaches.

Rain will be heavy for the next several days as this front hugs the coastline.   Eastern New England can expect .50-1.00" of rainfall, whereas western New England and especially the Blue Ridge mountains from VA to PA and areas in NY could see a massive amount of rainfall from what is left of Lee.

This rain however, will never make its way eastward and will be incorporated into a deepening low pressure area over the Ohio Valley, so we will not see the heavy amounts, but the sky will remain cloudy and wet until Friday.

As the front leaves on Thursday it will become a bit more humid. The sky begins to clear on Friday and remains Sunny through Sunday morning, when some of the remaining moisture from Lee gets pushed east.
