This line of showers and storms associated with the cold front has been creating havoc and flash flooding in many areas as it slides eastward. On the back side of the front, an extended period of nice weather is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region, but it’s going to be painful for many before we get to that point.

A significant rain event is now getting underway in the Mid-Atlantic region and it will continue into early Friday as a cold front inches its way across the area. This cold front has support aloft from a strong disturbance that will center itself over the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and there will be plenty of low-level moisture within a persistent and broad south-to-southeast flow of air that is forming on its front side. Showers have already pushed into interior sections of the Mid-Atlantic region and there can be an afternoon thunderstorm or two. The showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous on Thursday and Thursday night and some of the storms can reach severe levels with damaging wind gusts and even isolated tornadoes on the table. Flash flooding is an increasing concern in the Mid-Atlantic region given the already well-saturated grounds from recent significant rain events.
