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 late today and tonight will likely take place to the northwest of the metro region, but any shower or thunderstorm that does develop in our area can produce some heavy rainfall. 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 weekend. As a result, Henri needs to be closely monitored by all residents along the east coast; especially, those up in New England.
