Discussion
The weather becomes unsettled today as a trough of low pressure extends into the Mid-Atlantic region raising the chance for afternoon and nighttime showers and thunderstorms….some of the storms can be strong with downpours possible, watch for localized flash flooding. It’ll remain somewhat unsettled on Thursday as well as a weak cold front settles into the area from the northwest and this system could be the impetus for additional showers and thunderstorms. The end of the week and upcoming weekend look to be warm and generally rain-free with high pressure back in control.
