Latest report from the National Weather Service shows projected rainfall totals double in some spots.
According to the Sunday afternoon report from National Weather Service Meteorologist Gary Szatkowski, the inland flooding threat posed by Hurricane Sandy has increased in the past 24 hours.

'Frankenstorm' has potential to even bring snow to higher elevations.
No two storms are alike, and Hurricane Sandy is as unique as they come, according to one meteorologist.
