Discussion
The active weather pattern that we have been experiencing during the past couple of weeks has one more potent system to send our way and it looks like it will produce heavy rain around here (1.5-2.0 inches) and ingredients may come together for strong thunderstorms. A major storm will develop in the Mid-Atlantic region by tomorrow afternoon and this combined with vigorous upper-level energy and powerful low-level and upper-level jet streaks should result in a significant rainfall and possible strong thunderstorms. Grounds are now well saturated after the recent soaking rain events and this will raise concerns for localized flooding on Thursday and Thursday night. On the backside of the storm, it’ll turn much cooler and stay windy on Friday around here with additional rain showers possible. Accumulating snow is likely on Friday from the eastern Great Lakes region to the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia.
