Multiple factors will combine in the southeastern corner of the United States during the first several days of August to pose a serious risk to lives and property through flash flooding.
Deadly and disruptive flash flooding left its mark in multiple parts of the U.S. during July. The latest torrents of rain led to major travel disruptions from the northwestern Baltimore suburbs and around Philadelphia to New York City and portions of Long Island, New York, and Connecticut on Thursday afternoon and evening.
The same setup that brought flash flooding to the mid-Atlantic is heading southward.
August will continue where July left off in terms of flash flooding, as many inches of rain are forecast to pour down, especially from northern Florida and southeastern Alabama to southern Georgia and portions of the Carolinas.
The zone of heaviest rain will shift around into this weekend and then next week.
