Discussion
An unsettled weather pattern returns to the Mid-Atlantic region later today and heavy downpours/strong-to-severe storms will be on the table during this extended active time period. High pressure will push to the east of here this morning opening the door for more humid air to flow back into the region from the Gulf of Mexico. With the increase in moisture, there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms by later today/early tonight and this renewed threat of rain is likely to continue right through the upcoming weekend.
