While we still expect rain totals of 1 to 2 inches in most places with some local amounts close to 3 inches in parts of Southeast and South Central Pennsylvania, it is spread out over a long period of time so other than the usual suspect spots, we don’t expect widespread flash flooding. There are flash flood watches in Central Pennsylvania mostly west of Harrisburg.
Not much has changed on the models this afternoon and evening. You can see the low moves off the coast Saturday setting up the tight pressure gradient. The rain will start to slow taper off from north to south Saturday night. Temperatures will stay mostly in the low to mid 50s throughout with upper 40s at night. Sunday’s problem remains the same. I think much of the area will be in cloud cover all day and we will need to watch and see whether rain from from the ocean low pivots back westward into the coast. Models seem to be taking turns showing this so we will leave in this possibility. Once the low begins its course to the south that should allow for some slow improvement in sky conditions Monday with highs back into the 60s. Tuesday should be better again assuming that the low offshore doesn’t create low cloud issues with the onshore flow.
