Discussion

Tropical moisture continues to flow up along the eastern seaboard and it is accompanied by a slow-moving upper-level low pressure system. The result here will be another couple of days with occasional showers and thunderstorms can get into the mix as well. After this upper-level low finally “opens up” and exits off to the north and east later in the week, there can be a lull in the action for a brief time. However, another low pressure system will head towards the Great Lakes by the end of the week and it will throw a couple of fronts our way between later Friday and Saturday night. As a result, there will be a renewed threat of showers and thunderstorms from later Friday into Saturday and then drier air should finally return to the region for Sunday and Monday.
