Discussion
Some staggering rainfall amounts in the Mid-Atlantic region from late yesterday through the overnight hours with more than seven inches estimated by satellite in some spots. The hardest hit areas for rainfall included southern Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware where more than seven inches fell causing some serious flash flooding issues. Just to the east of DC, a possible tornado hit Kent Island, Maryland during the wee hours of the morning with damage now being investigated. A radar map of the thunderstorm cell showed rotation early this morning (red and green couplet) just to the south of Bowie and just before its arrival over Kent Island. Meanwhile, a cold front will work its way through the region today and there can be another round of late day or evening showers and thunderstorms and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. High pressure will take control on Tuesday and the air mass will become noticeably more comfortable. Another front will bring back some unsettled weather here towards the end of the work week.
