Discussion
A broad upper-level trough remains in place overhead and is producing enough instability for numerous showers and thunderstorms in the DC metro region. Some of the rain will be heavy at times this morning and mid-day...watch out for localized flooding conditions. Meanwhile, the storm track of Tropical Storm Henri will become increasingly influenced this weekend by building high pressure over southeastern Canada and this system is likely to turn to the north and intensify into a hurricane – potentially resulting in a direct impact on Long Island or New England by late Sunday.
