A major storm will impact the eastern United States beginning Thursday through the weekend.  The storm will impact our weather Thursday night through Friday night with widespread rain, some quite heavy, and a gusty breeze.  No significant wind problems are expected, but rain could become a problem for some folks if enough rain falls in a short amount of time.  Right now, I’m thinking 1-3”, perhaps a bit more, of rain is a good estimate.  Storms like this one can sometimes allow for convective bands of rain which could enhance totals in certain areas.  We will have to monitor the flooding potential since we have had some pretty heavy rain as of late.  At this point, we are not anticipating significant flooding problems.
