It was quite a scare when first discovered in 2004, but thousands of observations later, we now know that the asteroid known as Apophis will miss Earth when it makes its closest approach in April 2029. However, in the grand scheme of things in our vast universe, this will be a close call, and it’ll come so close that billions of people should be able to see it with their naked eyes. Interestingly, the closest flyby to Earth by Apophis will fall on “Friday the 13th” in April of 2029.

Monsoonal moisture will continue to impact the region today, raising the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms, and helping to keep temperatures down in reasonable territory. Any shower or thunderstorm can produce heavy rainfall resulting in a localized threat of flash flooding. By the latter part of the week, overall moisture levels will be on the decrease, and temperatures will be on the rise with the middle 90’s back on the table for Friday and Saturday afternoon highs and then 100-degree mark may be reached on Sunday and Monday.

After a very active afternoon and evening in the Mid-Atlantic region on Tuesday, there will be much improvement here at mid-week as a comfortable air mass pushes in from our northwest. Comfortably warm weather will continue during the remainder of the week and then another system could have an impact by the latter part of the weekend and the early part of next week.

While not everyone will get hit, the atmosphere is fueling up to produce numerous showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours in the Mid-Atlantic region. Strong-to-severe thunderstorms are on the table as well as torrential rainfall from this significant system with the greatest chance of flash flooding likely in the northern Mid-Atlantic (e.g., E PA, N NJ, NYC) and the greatest chance of severe weather likely in the southern Mid-Atlantic (e.g., DC, Delmarva). Multiple ingredients are coming together to raise the likelihood of this very active weather pattern for later today and tonight.

It’ll stay unsettled through today as a cold front approaches the area and additional showers and thunderstorms are on the tap with coverage highest in eastern sections. A few of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels with localized downpours on the table. The second half of the week will feature a drier air mass in place across the southeastern states.

A significant storm system to impact the Mid-Atlantic region…
The next couple of days will be quite unsettled across the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US as an upper-level trough of low pressure sends spokes of energy our way from the Great Lakes. As a result, there will be numerous showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region…some of the storms can be severe and some of the rain will be heavy. The best chance for the severe weather will likely be across the southern Mid-Atlantic (e.g., DC, Delmarva) and the best chance for flooding rainfall will likely be across the northern Mid-Atlantic (e.g., NE MD, eastern PA, NJ, NYC)…watch out for localized flash flooding. Surface low pressure will develop later today underneath the upper-level trough and spin around quite slowly extending the threat of rain into the mid-week.
