Discussion              

A very active beginning to the week as a potent system crosses the Ohio Valley and enhances upward motion in the Mid-Atlantic region.  The result will be occasional showers and embedded thunderstorms…some of the rain can be heavy at times, some of the storms can reach severe levels with damaging wind gusts a threat…maybe even an isolated tornado. High pressure will return for the mid-week period before somewhat unsettled weather heads this way later in the week.
