Localized flash flooding will remain a concern for parts of the Northeast as showers and thunderstorms occur along and ahead of a cold front crawling eastward through Monday.
Low-lying and poor drainage areas, as well as places along small streams, are most susceptible to any flash flooding.
A handful of the thunderstorms will also produce damaging winds. A tornado touching down would be an isolated occurrence, but cannot be ruled out.
The departure of the drenching showers and thunderstorms will be followed by the return of less humid air.
Drier air will work into New York City and Albany, N.Y., starting midday on Monday. Boston and Portland will dry out on Monday night.
Partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s will compliment Monday in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
Clouds and spotty showers will linger an extra day, on Monday around the Great Lakes and on Tuesday in northern New England as an area of low pressure moves through.
Monday will actually feel more like September than late July around the eastern Great Lakes, including in Buffalo, as temperatures are held to the upper 60s and lower 70s.
Earth is governed by two opposing forces; unwinding force [heat force of sun and our material activity] and winding force [cooling force of earth manifesting into floods/snows, earthquake and volcanic eruption]. With exponential increase in heat being released into earth's environment, we can expect huge destruction by double edged sword, with sudden increase in heat and fire bound destruction's, simultaneously accompanied by huge flash flood/snows, huge earthquakes and volcanic activity. Earth can even split up spewing huge amount of Volcanic ash into the environment. History speaks of such volcanic burst that has cooled earth suddenly and virtually wiping out many civilizations. - all signs are in predictable line. We can survive and enter Golden age provided we Awaken to Truth and take guard of earth - Global Emergencies and Solution to It From a New-Perspective - [Link]
