Discussion
A powerful storm system will begin the week with steady and heavy rainfall in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as it pushes northward from the southeastern states. The precipitation pattern will take on more of a showery form this afternoon and there can be a couple of strong thunderstorms as it turns quite breezy and milder. The upper-level low associated with this strong surface storm will stall in the general vicinity on Tuesday and it’ll remain unsettled around here with the chance of additional showers and it turns colder as well. In fact, this storm system will be kind of a pattern changer as we transition into the month of December with colder conditions going forward for the foreseeable future. Another storm system may have an impact on the Mid-Atlantic region later this week or during the upcoming weekend.
