The month of September is expected to culminate with a bunch of rains occurring over parts of Northeast United States.

The episodes of some torrential showers are expected to continue until October. However, the entire week will still not be washed-out.

As per the weatherman, rains are likely to be beneficial for soil moisture. But may become one of the reasons for the locals to postpone their outdoor activities and travel plans.

The first spell of rains is likely to occur over New England and mid-Atlantic coast through Tuesday morning.

US has already braced a dry weather condition in the mid-week and the next week is expected to witness unsettled weather condition.

A weather system generating strong winds gusting highly across the Great Lakes through Tuesday are expected to shift southwards.

Further, this system is expected to seclude from the jet stream allowing it to halt over the Ohio Valley or Northeast remaining there for a few days.

Rains are expected to commence across the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic later by Wednesday until Thursday.

Thereafter, it is expected to witness an intensification, then moving towards New England possibly on Thursday night and early Friday morning. These rainy spells may continue until weekend over most parts of New England.

As per the latest U.S. Drought Monitor released on September 22, as close to 40 million Northeast residents are being affected by drought conditions. In fact, past few months back, severe drought conditions were witnessed over Southern New England and into western and central New York over the past few months.

Moreover, soaking rains in most parts of the country are also expected. Even where the rain holds off for a time, plenty of clouds and a chilly breeze off the Atlantic could make for a dreary end to the week for most across the Northeast.

Temperatures are also expected to settle down below their normal. Maximum temperatures are expected to remain in the 60’s and lower 70’s across the region.
