Low pressure continues to surge northward into the Northeast Wednesday morning, producing tropical downpours from eastern New York into New England. Gales are possible just to the east of the center as well as it moves from western Connecticut toward northern New England. But, the main story will be the flooding rain that will continue over areas that have already been hard-hit over the last couple of months. Elsewhere in the tropics, a tropical wave is moving through Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula, and is spreading thunderstorms over much of Central America, and the northern end of the wave will cross the Bay of Campeche. There are no signs of organization with the wave at this point, but it is possible that some of this wave's moisture will be pulled into South Texas by Friday, which would result in welcome rainfall in this drought-stricken region. The weather is generally quiet over the rest of the Caribbean at this time. The only other tropical wave to watch is approaching the Lesser Antilles and will cause thunderstorms there Wednesday. This feature also shows no signs of imminent organization.
An upper-level disturbance about halfway between Puerto Rico and Bermuda will continue to move toward the northwest over the next 24 hours. This may begin to affect Bermuda with showers late Wednesday, then pass closer to the island Wednesday night or Thursday.
