After a weekend of steady rain in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware, residents can expect a small respite before showers return on Tuesday night. Many roads and villages experienced considerable rainfall between Friday and Saturday, resulting in moist ground but no severe flooding.
The US National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center predicts no river flooding as a result of the recent rains. According to the agency’s most recent projection, a second low-pressure system will hit the region late Tuesday, bringing another wave of widespread rain through midweek.
Major towns like Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Trenton, and Wilmington will experience dry weather until Monday, allowing local streams and saturated soils to recover. Commuters and households should use this time to empty gutters, check sump pumps, and prepare for potential ponding on roads when the rain returns.
With the next weather system expected to disrupt travel and outdoor plans, officials advise everyone to stay up to date on advisories, particularly in flood-prone areas. Additional alerts may be issued as Tuesday night approaches and rainfall totals become clearer.
