It has been unusually dry across much of the eastern US during the past several months with a focus on the Florida Peninsula, but we have been chipping away at these conditions in recent weeks and there are likely to be additional beneficial rainfall events during the new couple of weeks. Rain is falling today throughout much of the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US – the second bout of rain this week – and rain is currently falling across portions of the northern Gulf region. This area of Gulf moisture will push east during the next few days and then take a turn to the north early next week and ride up slowly along the Atlantic seaboard. As a result, it appears there will be more beneficial rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US from later Tuesday into Thursday further alleviating the dry conditions and additional rain threats exist later this month in an on-going active pattern.

A slow-moving upper-level low pressure system will keep it quite unsettled around here for the next several days producing a daily chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. This system will push slowly across the Deep South through the weekend and then take a turn to the northeast early next week. Clouds will be plentiful in our area during this unsettled stretch putting a limit as to how warm it can get around here.

After a dry day on Tuesday, the threat of showers and thunderstorms returned to the area last night and will stick around for the next several days. An upper-level low pressure system will slowly edge into the Northeast US later today and another upper-level trough will edge this way from the southwestern states keeping the overall weather pattern quite unsettled in the Tennessee Valley.

There may be some improvement on Sunday, but it’ll be on the cool side and showers cannot be ruled out. The first half of next week looks pretty decent with plenty of sunshine likely on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and temperatures will be comfortable.

The change of calendar to the month of May is bringing a changing weather pattern that is likely to result in a prolonged and significant rain event for the Mid-Atlantic region...something not seen in these parts in quite awhile. While there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms between tonight and late Saturday, the main event is likely to begin on Saturday night with widespread showers and thunderstorms and occasional rain will be a threat on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and perhaps Wednesday as well in the Mid-Atlantic region to go along with cooler conditions. The upper part of the atmosphere is evolving into a classic “omega-block” pattern which will allow for cooler and rainy weather to stick around for several days in the Mid-Atlantic region, and this should alleviate drought and fire-hazard conditions endured during the past several weeks.

There have been numerous colder-than-normal air masses in recent weeks pushing into the central and eastern US from Canada and also into the western US from the eastern Pacific Ocean. The continuing influx of these colder-than-normal air masses along with an active jet stream has led to numerous severe weather outbreaks in recent weeks. Indeed, severe weather is likely later today and tonight with a focus on the Upper Midwestern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois though some severe thunderstorm activity can extend all the way south and west to the south-central states of Texas and Oklahoma. The overall pattern that has produced these occasional cold air and severe weather outbreaks in the US looks quite likely to last at least into the first part of May with a risk next Monday and Tuesday in the nation’s mid-section.
