Discussion

High pressure that has been anchored in the Northeast US over the past several days will gradually lose its grip on the region as moisture grudgingly advances into the Mid-Atlantic region from our southwest. This moisture is associated with the same upper level system that caused heavy rain across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys over the weekend, but it has now lost some of its punch. The moisture has been slow to arrive and it will be rather slow to depart with the threat for showers continuing for much of the week.
