Discussion
An upper-level disturbance continues to have an impact on the region as it slowly pushes to the north over the western part of the Mid-Atlantic. This system is combining with higher moisture levels to produce bands of showers and thunderstorms and this threat of rain will stick around into at least the middle of next week. The rain chances over the next several days will be highest during the afternoon and evening hours as it will tend to be “diurnally-driven” with daytime heating playing an important catalyst type of role. Any shower or storm that forms over the next few days can produce heavy rainfall and localized flooding conditions. Another strong upper-level low pressure system may impact our region by the latter part of next week.
