Discussion
Much of the week ahead will feature high pressure centered over the western Atlantic Ocean and from this location a low-level flow of air from the Gulf of Mexico will pump in warm and humid air to the Mid-Atlantic region. The combination of the high humidity and a series of weak disturbances and frontal systems will generate a daily threat of showers and thunderstorms right through the day on Thursday. Many of the showers and thunderstorms that form during the next few days will be slow-movers raising the chance of heavy rainfall over a given location…perhaps resulting in some localized flash flooding conditions.
