Discussion
A nasty storm system will impact the Mid-Atlantic region over the next couple of days with strong winds and significant rainfall and localized flooding will likely become a serious concern given the already well-saturated grounds. As the storm rides up to the west of here on Friday, warmer air will surge up the Atlantic seaboard and it’ll become spring-like with high temperatures at or slightly above the 60 degree mark to go along with strong southerly winds. Strong to-severe thunderstorms are possible today across parts of the Southeast US and especially over the state of Florida and there can even be a couple of thunderstorms in the I-95 corridor during this upcoming soaking rain event. It’ll turn colder and windy late Friday night and Saturday following the departure of the storm and Sunday promises to be dry, cold and sunny.
