East Coast Flooding, Rain Expected, Heat Coming From Midwest

After a record-breaking cold struck the Northeast over President's Day weekend, temperatures rose into the 40s and 50s on Tuesday, turning most of the ice and snow from Winter Storm Olympia into heavy rains. Most of the Atlantic Seaboard will be struck by torrential downpours and risks of flash flooding, reports Accuweather.

Airline and highway delays are expected as the rain is mixing with the upwards of 12 inches of snow some areas in the Northeast received on Monday. That combination of melting snow and ice brings the risk of flooding to the I-95 corridor from northern North Carolina up through Washington, D.C., and New York City.
