Discussion...Widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms continue to migrate northward downstream of a strong mid-level low centered over Ohio. Strong low-level flow (50 knots at 850mb) was located along an axis from Long Island northward through New England, which was contributing to continued precipitation due to isentropic and topographic ascent. Instability profiles are relatively marginal (only 250-500 J/kg MUCAPE per SPC Mesoanalysis). Radar mosaic/MRMS data indicate a few areas of 0.2-0.5 inch/hr rainfall rates near Portland over the past hour, with more localized/banded convection resulting in 0.2-0.4 inch/hr rain rates farther west across eastern New York and Vermont. MRMS Flash responses were maximized near Portland, although local moderate responses were noted near and south of Albany, NY over the past hour as well. Observations and models both indicate that the general regime should continue through 22Z. Of greatest concern is the warming low-level temperatures especially across New England that, when combined with locally heavy rainfall, could result in snowmelt-enhanced runoff. A few issues with excessive runoff/flooding have been reported this morning, and additional reports are possible as multiple rounds of rainfall/isolated thunderstorms continue across the discussion area through 22Z.=20 Portions of eastern New York should experience a transition to snowfall through 22Z in tandem with eastward progression of a strong arctic cold front, eventually reducing the already isolated flash flood risk there.
