00:00 Well, it has been wet, wet,
00:01 wet over the last 30 days.
00:03 I want to show you the 30 day rainfall.
00:06 It's color coded this map.
00:07 Now when you see the light green is
00:09 where you're looking at rainfall above normal.
00:11 The dark green is where you've seen
00:13 at least two to three times your
00:15 normal amount of rain in a 30 day period.
00:18 So if you think about this in that dark
00:20 green you're looking at two to three
00:23 months worth of rain and a lot of
00:25 that fell in the last two weeks.
00:27 That's why we've been dealing
00:28 with flash flooding.
00:29 So far, July in Albany 9.41 inches rain.
00:32 By the way, that is number 2 second
00:35 wettest July of all time only behind
00:37 2009 where we had 9.91 and I think
00:40 we're going to get a half inch of
00:42 rain with our next system Thursday
00:44 night into Friday won't be today.
00:46 Frontal boundary moving east.
00:47 We do have a system that brought
00:50 some heavier rain down across
00:51 the Delmarva Peninsula.
00:52 That's going to exit and then
00:54 thunderstorms are going to be
00:55 pushing South behind that later
00:57 this afternoon and tonight.
00:58 So the severe weather risk really
01:00 down in the eastern parts of North
01:02 Carolina and eastern Virginia.
01:03 I think for much of the flooded areas
01:06 from southeastern Pennsylvania
01:07 and New England, I don't think
01:08 we're looking at much rain.
01:10 If at any rain as we go through today.
01:13 Now temperatures it's going to be humid,
01:15 but because the clouds not as hot as we've
01:18 seen widespread 80s so kind of typical,
01:20 if not a little bit below normal
01:22 for mid July standards.
01:23 Alright, here's our next upper level
01:25 low north and West of Bismarck.
01:27 That is going to bring our next cold front.
01:30 That'll be Thursday night in the Friday.
01:32 Will start getting the rains from West to
01:35 East late Wednesday late Thursday.
01:36 I should say in western parts of
01:38 New York State in Pennsylvania.
01:40 Then the frontal boundary arrives on Friday.
01:43 And again, I think we're looking at some
01:46 areas of drenching thunderstorms,
01:48 especially in that dark area.
01:50 That does include Philadelphia,
01:51 New York City and up into the flooded
01:54 areas in eastern New York State.
01:56 New York State or the saturated ground.
01:59 I should say eastern New York State,
02:01 Vermont, New Hampshire,
02:02 Western Connecticut and
02:04 Western Massachusetts as well.
02:05 So again, we're worried about the flooding
02:08 resuming in these areas,
02:09 especially in the dark green where
02:12 the ground is already so saturated.
