Atlanta, GA – A strong cold front is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the East Coast late next week, raising flood concerns from Maine to Mississippi.
According to the National Weather Service, areas from the Northeast to the Gulf Coast have a greater than 60% chance of experiencing significant rainfall between March 15 and 21. The system is expected to develop as the front pushes eastward, increasing moisture levels and intensifying precipitation.
The exact timing and rainfall amounts remain uncertain, but meteorologists warn that saturated soil in some regions could increase the risk of flooding. Urban areas and low-lying locations may see localized flooding, especially where drainage systems are overwhelmed.
Residents are advised to stay informed by monitoring weather updates and preparing flood safety plans. Officials recommend clearing gutters, securing outdoor items, and avoiding flooded roadways.
Further details on the storm’s path and intensity will become clearer as forecasts are updated. Stay tuned to the National Weather Service for the latest alerts and advisories.
