Discussion
A very unsettled weather pattern will continue through the second half of the week in the Mid-Atlantic region with additional strong storms and downpours likely. Given the already well saturated grounds, any additional heavy rainfall can lead to localized flash flooding conditions. Ingredients for this unsettled weather pattern include a tropical air mass left behind by TS Barry, a slow-moving surface frontal system, and an upper-level trough of low pressure.
