The storm will quickly reorganize along the upper mid-Atlantic coast Wednesday. This new storm center will become the bomb cyclone, amplifying the rain from the Appalachians to the Atlantic beaches and the wind along the Atlantic coast as it moves northward through Wednesday night.

Enough rain will fall--a general 1 to 4 inches-- to boost stream, river, lake and reservoir levels and trigger urban flooding. The AccuWeather Local StormMax™ rainfall for this storm is 6 inches in the Southeast and 8 inches in the Northeast.
