 Residents across the Northeast still recovering from the disastrous impacts caused by Tropical Rainstorm Ida last week should be on alert for showers and thunderstorms that could trigger additional flooding this week.

After Ida produced historic and deadly flooding, as well as severe weather, across the Northeast last week, rather benign conditions followed in the area for several days. While some locations received a brief period of rain over the weekend and at the start of this week, generally dry conditions will continue to follow Ida through Tuesday night.

At least 50 deaths were blamed on the former hurricane from Connecticut to Virginia, according to The Associated Press, as it unleashed torrential rainfall that inundated basement apartments in New York City, caused homes to collapse in New Jersey and put a major highway underwater in Philadelphia.

An end to the rather uneventful stretch of weather is coming for the middle of the week, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The same cold front that will produce severe weather across the Great Lakes into Tuesday night will shift into the Northeast on Wednesday and deliver rounds of stormy weather.
