Discussion
The next couple of days and nights look very unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region as a frontal system will meander nearby leading to the chance of showers and thunderstorms right through tomorrow night. Flash flooding is indeed a concern given the already well-saturated grounds and the expected new rainfall which can be heavy at times. Looking ahead, the weekend is shaping up to be pretty decent for this time of year with a chance for a shower or thunderstorm on Saturday and then likely rain-free conditions on Sunday. Temperatures will turn cooler today and remain rather moderate over the next few days. As far as the tropics are concerned, it looks quiet on that scene with a lull in the action for the Atlantic Basin during the next several days.
