Discussion

Tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Fred has pushed northward into the Mid-Atlantic region and will enhance the chance of showers and thunderstorms around here. The heaviest rainfall today and tonight will take place to the north and west of the District where enough rain can fall to result in localized flash flooding conditions. The remnants of Fred push to our north by Thursday morning and then attention shifts to Henri out over the Atlantic. This system is likely to reach hurricane in the near-term and may come "too-close-for-comfort" to the east coast late in the week or this weekend. As a result, Henri needs to be closely monitored by all residents along the east coast; especially, those up in New England.
