It’s T-48 hours until a potentially blockbuster Northeast snow storm, and forecast models couldn’t be farther apart | CNN What are meteorologists supposed to do when the models they rely on disagree so sharply? And how should you interpret the forecast?

Analysis: It's T-48 hours until a potential snowstorm along the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast, yet forecasters are struggling with some epic computer model disagreements. I take you behind the scenes to explain what's going on: www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/w...

Pattern has been ripe for more flash flooding… this time in the Ohio Valley and Midwest. Could be some big rainfall totals somewhere over the next few days.

Unfortunately two fatalities associated with flash flooding in NJ yesterday. Reminder that most flash flooding fatalities in the U.S. are associated with vehicles.

Heavy rain and rush hour traffic going about as you’d think it would in the DC area this evening.

NOAA Weather Prediction Center Excessive Rainfall Outlooks all valid for 2-3 April 2025. The outlooks were very consistent in their location and the observed flooding occurred essentially right in the locations where the outlooks showed the highest probabilities.

We often (rightly) see maps like these showing how good SPC convective outlooks are; let's also give some kudos to WPC for some outstanding excessive rainfall outlooks for this event. Especially impressive are the day 5 outlooks, giving advance notice of prolonged excessive rainfall and flood risk.
