Discussion
The first widespread rain event in many weeks is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region from later Sunday into early Monday. Strong low pressure will push up to the northwest of here during the latter part of the weekend and it may even be able to draw some tropical moisture into the region from Hurricane Rafael. The likely rainfall amounts here should be in the 0.25 to 0.50 inch range between later Sunday and early Monday. The weather pattern returns to dry and comfortably cool again during the first half of next week, but more rain is possible by Wednesday night or Thursday.
