In the middle of May, I posted a forecast for the Northeast U.S. for the period between June 5-8 calling for strong storms and heavy rain. The forecast was based on planetary alignments studied by astro-meteorologists.
Here's how the forecast, issued 3 weeks in advance, sized up. The forecast was off by a couple of days since today, June 10th, the storms and heavy rain materialized over the Mid-Atlantic region. The original forecast specified the area in and around New York, New Jersey, the Delmarva Peninsula, and New England.
The National Weather Service today issued a Flash Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, southern New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania.
Periods of rain is expected into Monday morning, some of which will be heavy at times. A total of 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected across much of the watch area. Some thunderstorms may occur through this evening mainly across Delmarva which could lead to locally higher amounts.
In addition to the above Watch, the NWS has issued a Flash Flood Warning for Delaware, Maryland, and a Flood Warning for West Virginia.
Here is an Accuweather map depicting the area to be affected.
