Discussion
A heavy rain event is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region as strong low pressure pushes to a position just off the coast by early Saturday. The rain will develop later tonight and continue through much of Saturday, heavy at times, with two to as much as four inches on the table by tomorrow evening… watch for localized flooding. On the backside of the storm, N-NW winds will become very strong from late Saturday into Sunday with gusts to 50 mph possible. Chilly air pushes in for Sunday and persistent winds will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures.
