Discussion
The weather looks favorable for the Nats playoff games both tonight and Tuesday night, but a soaking rain event is likely here on Wednesday. In fact, the big story of the week weather-wise is the likelihood for the soaking rain event here on Wednesday - something we haven't seen much of in recent weeks. High pressure will build into the area for the next couple of days, but a frontal system will then approach the region at mid-week from our northwest. In addition, low pressure will pull out of the south-central states and head towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and these two systems will combine into a powerful storm for the NE US. There will be periods of rain on Wednesday and some of it can be heavy at times with the total rainfall amounts likely increasing as one goes up along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC-Boston corridor. Following the passage of the mid-week storm, it’ll turn quite cool and windy on Thursday with highs likely at 60 degrees or below.
