The Flood Waters Recede

The Northeast is starting to clean up after five days of heavy rains caused flooding there. Early last week, the Baltimore/Washington area got over a foot of rain in some areas. A little later in the week, Pennsylvania got the worst of it, with over 10 inches of rain in parts of eastern Pennsylvania. (Thanks to Dr. Masters tropical weather blog for the pictures). The mid-Atlantic, at least, will get a break from the rain this weekend, though thunderstorm activity will pick up again at the beginning of next week. The Northeast gets Saturday off, with rains returning on Sunday.
