Heavy Showers and Localized Flooding Possible Wednesday

A deep low is producing blizzard conditions over the Northern Plains and severe weather over the Lower Mississippi River Valley today. This low will track into the Great Lakes and send a frontal system through the area on Wednesday, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and some flooding in the local region.

A warm front will push slowly northward through the region during the day tomorrow. This will cause clouds to increase and areas of fog and drizzle to develop late tonight. Some scattered showers are possible early tomorrow morning and the midday hours tomorrow, especially northwest of New York City. Showers will likely become more numerous and widespread over the region later tomorrow afternoon and evening, via a strong cold front approaching the region. Some elevated instability may even support an isolated thunderstorm.
