Discussion
Severe weather affected the Mid-Atlantic on Saturday, and another high risk is on the way for this afternoon and evening as a cold front pushes towards the region. Not everyone will get hit by the strong-to-severe storms, but ingredients are coming together for what looks like multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be severe and some of the rain will be heavy…watch out for localized flash flooding. Showers and thunderstorms can linger into Wednesday; especially, along and to the south and east of the I-95 corridor. A refreshing air mass will arrive on Wednesday night and the weather looks great for Thursday and Friday.
