This storm path cuts off any tropical connection which led to the excessive and destructive conditions over the past several days.

The prevailing wind direction also won't help to enhance the rain like we saw with this last storm, Heather Zehr, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist, via 'Newsweek'.

According to AccuWeather, the main concern remains flooding, as the ground is already extremely saturated.

The rain can also cause a return of standing water in areas that see some improvement, Heather Zehr, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist, via 'Newsweek'.

Wind remains a concern as well after the February 4 storm caused widespread power outages with winds as high as 162 miles per hour, near the state record set in 2017
