Philippe's Impact: Northeast Braces for Soaking and Strong Winds

A cold front moving across the Northeast this weekend is expected to bring heavy rainfall, with the remnants of Tropical Storm Philippe potentially adding to the wet conditions in Maine. Localized flooding is possible in parts of the Northeast, although it is not expected to be as severe as the flooding experienced in late September. Rainfall amounts of up to 2 or 3 inches are possible in some areas, with the heaviest rain expected in New York, western and northern New England. The timing of the rainfall is expected to be from Friday through Sunday, with Philippe's remnant potentially enhancing rainfall in Maine on Sunday.
