Discussion

Yesterday’s rain and thunderstorm activity in the Mid-Atlantic region is just the opening round in what is looking like a very active weather pattern for much of the nation in the foreseeable future. The next ten days or so will feature wave-after-wave traveling across the country in a general west-to-east fashion and each one can produce snow over the Rockies and New England, severe weather in the central and southern states, and significant rain in the Mid-Atlantic region. In fact, its been somewhat dry in recent weeks in much of the south-central and eastern US and these are the regions that are most likely to get pounded with significant rainfall in this unfolding active weather pattern. The next event is already taking shape and likely to arrive here on Friday. The late week event is likely to become a significant rain producer for the Mid-Atlantic region with up to two inches possible in parts of the I-95 corridor from Friday into Saturday. Beyond that, it appears the next wave in a series of waves will arrive here around next Tuesday of next week and this too has the potential of resulting in some soaking rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic region, and then yet another one could follow by the end of next week.
