'We Need More Rain,' Said No One This Week
Four inches of rain possible Thursday into Friday.
More heavy rain is coming, and the National Weather Service has issued its third flash flood watch for the region in less than a week.
The National Weather Service explains:
Low pressure will intensify over the mid-Atlantic states on Thursday and then will lift north and pass south and east of Long Island Thursday night through Friday morning. This low will meander east of Cape Cod Friday night before departing on Saturday. This system will produce heavy rain with significant rainfall totals ranging from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches during this time. This will result in flooding of small streams as well as urban and poor drainage flooding. Main stem rivers could approach bankfull.
