00:00And into Portland, Maine, we're just beginning to step into this rain event that's going to be a soaker all night long.
00:05There are many areas with flood watches from the northeastern Poconos all the way up into southwestern Maine.
00:10So many of these areas could face some high water, small streams and creek flooding.
00:14And we actually have ongoing river flooding.
00:16You can see parts of the Connecticut River down there through central and southern Connecticut
00:20with ongoing actual river flood warnings in progress right now.
00:24Temperatures, that onshore breeze is really working against us into Portland.
00:28It's at 46 degrees there.
00:30But on the other hand, we have a downsloping, well, it's going to be a downsloping breeze into southeast Virginia,
00:34but a drying wind into areas like Ohio and West Virginia, where you're in the mid-60s now, and it feels pretty good.
00:41So the overall back edge of rain is beginning to kind of get carved away with every passing hour.
00:46It'll be with us longer, though, into central New England and through the night.
00:50Even tomorrow during the day, Maine is going to be dealing with some additional rainfall.
00:54But the trend is a good one as the back edge of this pulls through Maine after 4 or 5 p.m. tomorrow night.
01:01And then we're dealing with great weather for Mother's Day, and that's going to be a real popular thing
01:04after we wrap up this 2 to 4-inch rain event.
01:07Still in progress in central New England.
01:09It's a winter for mom as we step deeper into the weekend.
