Discussion

The Mid-Atlantic region has been very dry over the past few weeks with high pressure generally in control of our overall weather pattern. This dry spell could come to an end over the next several days with some scattered shower activity in the near term and then more significant rainfall is possible early next from the remains of what is now Tropical Storm Nate. This tropical system is likely to head in a general northward direction over the next couple of days - likely moving over the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico - and then spill out over the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. By later in the weekend, Tropical Storm Nate could very well reach hurricane status as it likely heads towards the central Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and/or Alabama - a bit farther west than earlier thoughts of the Florida Panhandle.
