Discussion
The new work week gets off to a wet start in the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure treks across the Great Lakes. A warm front will lift north through the region today and then a cold front will arrive early Tuesday. The combination of the two fronts will bring occasional showers and PM thunderstorms to the region through tonight and some of the rain will fall heavily at times. Given the already well-saturated grounds, any downpour can result in localized flooding conditions. High pressure builds into the area for later tomorrow and Wednesday with noticeably less humid air, but more showers are destined for later in the week.
