00:00Some parts of the northeast could receive four inches of rain in just 36 hours.
00:04After weeks of unusually dry autumn weather, a major change is approaching.
00:09Rain and thunderstorms are expected to move across the region from Thursday into Friday,
00:14potentially ending the dry spell in several communities.
00:17The biggest concern is a narrow band of heavier rainfall along the Atlantic coast.
00:22Forecasters say parts of the coastal corridor could receive one to four inches,
00:26with isolated totals potentially reaching six inches.
00:30However, the exact location of the heaviest rain remains uncertain.
00:34That matters because repeated downpours could overwhelm storm drains and cause localized flash flooding.
00:40Even ordinary showers could create slippery roads as rain mixes with accumulated oil, dust, and wet autumn leaves.
00:47By the weekend, much cooler air will arrive, bringing temperatures into the 40s and 50s across many inland areas.
00:54So, after weeks of dry autumn weather, the northeast is heading into a much wetter and colder stretch.
