A tropical disturbance and the heavy rain moving along with it will bring a risk of flash flooding to Florida and the central Gulf Coast in the coming days, particularly in southern Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

A flood watch has also been issued in Washington, D.C., while the Midwest also has the potential for flooding.

New York and New Jersey hit by torrential rain and flash floods, forcing highway closures, suspending subway lines and flight delays.
