Heavy Rains and Flash Flood Threaten Millions in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast A slow-moving but powerful storm system, which recently slammed the Southeast with torrential rain and severe weather, is now heading towards the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States. Millions of residents in major cities such as Washington, D.C., and Baltimore are at high risk of experiencing flash flooding. According to FOX Weather meteorologist Britta Merwin, "A potent storm system that slammed the Southeast with torrential rain and severe weather is finally inching its way toward the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, putting millions of people in cities like Washington and Baltimore at risk of flash flooding." The video shows live radar images and city-by-city forecasts, highlighting the widespread nature of the impending threat. Flood watches have already been issued for parts of Virginia and North Carolina. The reporter warns of potential travel disruptions due to wet runways and reduced visibility.
