Discussion

A warm front passed through the region late yesterday and it’ll turn much warmer for today and Wednesday with some I-95 corridor spots flirting with the 80 degree mark for highs during both afternoons. An active cold frontal system supported by vigorous upper-level energy will generate a heavy rain event in the Mid-Atlantic region from later tomorrow into early Thursday. Heavy rain on the order of an inch to an inch and a half has the potential to create some localized flooding problems tomorrow night into early Thursday and strong thunderstorms are possible during this upcoming heavy rain event. Clearing will hold off until Friday at which time high pressure will build back into the region and bring improvement to close out the work week and begin the weekend.
