Heavy Rain, Flood Risk for Southeast Into Sunday
US · Published Sep 27, 2025
Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic through Sunday, potentially easing dry conditions.
Flash flooding is a significant concern, especially in southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina.
The flood risk is expected to decrease slightly on Sunday as the storm system shifts closer to the coast.
Heavy rain and flooding to persist
Heavy rain and the risk of flooding will persist across the Southeast region of the United States into Sunday. A combination of Gulf moisture and a stalled front is expected to trigger widespread showers and thunderstorms from the Southeast up into the Mid-Atlantic states. While the anticipated rainfall may alleviate some dry conditions currently affecting the Mid-Atlantic, there is a significant risk of flash flooding due to the potential for heavier downpours. Areas of particular concern include southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina, where the terrain and existing water levels may exacerbate the flood risk.
