Discussion
The next couple of days will be very unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region with multiple systems to deal with as well as the tropical moisture associated with the remains of Hurricane Laura. There is the threat for strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity from later today through tomorrow evening and added tropical moisture will enhance the chance for heavy rain at times over the next 36 hours or so. Following all of this activity, a spectacular air mass for this time of year will ride in on Sunday on strong NW winds and those very comfortable temperatures and humidity levels will last into the first part of next week. It'll become quite unsettled again as we get to Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with a renewed threat of showers and thunderstorms each day.
