As much of the Midwest braces for more rain that could exacerbate existing flooding, a coastal storm is targeting the Southeast today as a storm out West pounds the coast.

Although rain is in the forecast today along the East Coast, the strongest part of that storm likely will remain over the Atlantic Ocean.

By tonight, the mid-Atlantic should still see some heavy rain and gusty winds from Virginia up to Long Island, New York. By tomorrow the storm will intensify but mostly remain out to sea, brushing eastern New England with a bit of rain or wet snow.

That system shouldn’t deliver a lot of snow in the Northeast, mostly just a dusting of perhaps as much as 2 inches in parts of New England.
