Discussion
There is a good chance for significant rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next 48 hours as a cold front inches its way across the area and flash flooding is a concern. This cold front will have support aloft from a strong disturbance that will center itself over the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and there will be plenty of low-level moisture within the broad south-to-southeast flow of air that forms today on its front side. An occasional shower is likely today and tonight with a thunderstorm possible and they will become more numerous on Thursday and Thursday night. Some of the thunderstorms on Thursday and Thursday night can reach strong-to-severe levels. Following the frontal passage, the weekend is looking quite nice with comfortable temperatures for late September.
