Discussion
A large trough of low pressure will push into the northeastern states and generate unsettled conditions around here with the likelihood of additional showers and thunderstorms. Some of the rain can be heavy at times, watch for localized flash flooding. The chance of rain will remain on Tuesday, but it won’t be as high as today. High pressure moves into the area at mid-week generating generally warm and rain-free weather conditions.
