Discussion
A spring-like storm is on the way for the Mid-Atlantic region with windy and warmer conditions on Wednesday, a soaking rainfall, and a possible strong-to-severe thunderstorm. This same storm system will result in an enhanced risk of severe weather later today and tonight across the Lower and Middle Mississippi Valley regions. The main risk both today in the Mississippi Valley and tomorrow in the Mid-Atlantic’s DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor will be for damaging wind gusts; however, isolated tornadoes are certainly on the table as well. It’ll turn cooler on Thursday and Friday behind the passage of a strong cold front and high pressure will build back into to the area.
