Discussion
A very active weather pattern will likely continue across the eastern half of the nation into the early part of May in large part due to a continuation of cold air outbreaks from Canada into the central and eastern US. The latest in a series of storms will continue to impact the Mid-Atlantic region today and then another system will arrive over the weekend with more rainfall likely from Saturday night into Sunday. Given the pretty well saturated grounds, the chances for localized flooding will be on the increase as we progress through this event and into the next one. More rain is possible by the middle of next week as this stormy and chilly pattern continues.
