• According to the National Weather Service (NWS), there is a 70%-100% chance of rain across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Rainfall totals could exceed 0.5 to 1 inch in many areas, with overcast skies and northerly winds contributing to the wet conditions. Meanwhile, tropical moisture from systems like Odalys and Polo is steering showers toward the Desert Southwest and Four Corners region.

Impact & Risks
The rain could exacerbate already saturated areas in the Northeast, increasing the risk of localized flooding. Commuters in urban areas may face delays due to water accumulation on roads, while outdoor activities are likely to be disrupted. The combination of rain and winds may also lead to minor power outages in some areas.
