We may have to deal with the effects of a tropical system again. This time it is Tropical Storm Lee who may have a say in our weather here in the Easton area. No, we won't be getting hit with another tropical storm, but the remnants of Lee may factor into our weather in the Monday through Wednesday time frame.
Currently dropping a lot of rain in Louisiana, Lee may join up in a cold front moving eastward, and become a big rainmaker in central PA. That cold front may stall, and we here in eastern PA and western NJ may have to deal with the potential for several inches of rain if the bulk of the system nudges eastward. Right now, much can change, but the potential is there for more heavy rain for our area.
This situation will need to be watched, as we can ill-afford to have more heavy rain. Two inches of rain over a 24 hour period could cause more flooding of streams and creeks. Something we don't need on the heels of Hurricane Irene.
