1:00 PM | **Heavy rain and embedded strong thunderstorms**

Discussion
An active cold frontal system supported by vigorous upper-level energy will generate heavy showers and potential strong thunderstorms in the I-95 corridor into early Thursday. Heavy rain on the order of 1-3 inches has the potential to create some localized flooding problems during the next 18 hours or so. The heaviest and steadiest rain will end by early tomorrow, but residual showers are possible later Thursday as the powerful upper-level low associated with this dynamic system passes nearby. High pressure will bring improvement to the Mid-Atlantic region as we close out the work week and begin the weekend with the return of some sunshine, but it'll turn noticeably cooler for Sunday and Monday.
