Discussion
Low pressure over the Tennessee Valley this morning will rapidly intensify today and track northward through the Ohio Valley and towards the western part of New York State. This storm will generate periods of light-to-moderate rainfall around here over the next several hours, but the main action associated with this system will occur later today and early tonight. Specifically, the rain will fall heavily at times, the winds will become quite strong, and there can be some thunderstorm activity up and down the I-95 corridor. In fact, thunderstorms may actually reach severe levels late today/early tonight anywhere along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor containing torrential rainfall, damaging wind gusts, possible hail and even isolated tornadoes. Cold air returns in the wake of this storm by tomorrow night and there can be some snow shower activity to go along with colder, very windy conditions.
