“High end event.”
Chance of storms later this week.
DW, Germany’s PBS, has a report on New York flooding with meteorologist Mathew Cappucci for a nerd-worthy explanation of the extreme storm that trapped people in subways.
“Across the Northeastern US, we are seeing a 70 to 75 percent uptick in heavy rain and flash flood events during the summer months, and that’s something we do expect to see more of due to climate change.”
While NYC represents a major media center, I think the rain would have more impact hitting DC, with politicians’ socks getting wet.
Not only the summer month, s Nor’easters getting more of a threat in the winter months also…..
“Hopefully, this research will help us communicate to the public and policymakers the full extent of the risks we face, providing a greater impetus for meaningful action. To me, it’s a wake-up call: If we don’t act, things will continue to get a whole lot worse.”

I recall one of those frigid snowmakers that blew in from the Atlantic was coming in over “warm” ocean waters. Basically, they were getting massive “lake effect” snow from easterly winds.
