After one cold front stalled out and died over the Northeast and mid-Atlantic at the end of last week, another one is on its heels and will deliver more wet weather that could lead to flooding as millions of people prepare for the new workweek.
Showers and thunderstorms pushed into the region on Friday and created messy conditions in communities from Virginia to Vermont after several inches of rain fell.
Water rescues were needed in northern Virginia after drivers ventured into high water in Pentagon City.
And in Vermont, mudslides were reported in the central part of the state, which forced police to close at least one major roadway in Killington.
Nearly 53 million at risk of flooding through Monday morning
Because of the risk of several inches of rain, the National Weather Service issued Flood Watches that stretch from eastern North Carolina to northern New England, with nearly 53 million people included in these alerts.

After one cold front stalled out and died over the Northeast and mid-Atlantic at the end of last week, another one is on its heels and is expected to deliver severe weather and heavy rain that could lead to flooding as millions of people prepare for the new workweek.
Water rescues were reported to be underway Sunday in many communities in the Lower Hudson Valley and the National Weather Service office issued are rare Flash Flood Emergency for towns around West Point in New York.
Doppler radar estimates indicate around half a foot of rainfall occurred in areas of Orange County, New York, over a short time period leading to flash flooding.
Nearly 53 million at risk of flooding through Monday morning
Because of the risk of several inches of rain, the National Weather Service issued Flood Watches that stretch from eastern North Carolina to northern New England, with nearly 53 million people included in these alerts.
Most major cities in the Megalopolis along Interstate 95 are under the Flood Watch, including Washington, Philadelphia and New York.

That being said, a healthy dose of skepticism is definitely in order when it comes to current weather forecasts.
