Discussion
A significant rain event is in the offing for the Mid-Atlantic region and it would primarily take place during the day on Thursday. Low pressure will push to the Great Lakes region at mid-week and a trailing north-to-south oriented frontal system will grind its way to the eastern seaboard on Thursday. The combination of this slow-moving front, vigorous energy aloft, and a long fetch of humid air up along the east coast from the Gulf of Mexico and SW Atlantic will likely result in some heavy rainfall around here on Thursday and localized flash flooding may become a concern. The good news is that after another unsettled day on Friday, the weekend is likely to start off with a nice day on Saturday, but another system could threaten us with showers by Sunday night and Monday.
