An upper-level trough will push into the Great Lakes region later today and this system could generate scattered showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region, and an even better chance around here comes later tomorrow as a cool front arrives from our northwest. Any rain that falls later today, tonight and on Wednesday can be briefly heavy and a few storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. This front will stall out just to our southeast later in the week and then potentially impact our weekend weather as low pressure might develop along its boundary zone. The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks this weekend and the weather from this vantage point does not look too promising for viewing.

High pressure took control of our weather over the weekend and it’ll produce another very warm day around here as we begin the new work week. By later tomorrow, another upper-level trough will push into the Great Lakes region and it is likely to raise the chances here for scattered showers and thunderstorms and then an even better shot at showers and storms may come late Wednesday with the arrival of a cool front. That front may stall to our south and east later in the week and it could turn around and play an unfavorable role in our weekend weather.

The upper-level trough of low pressure that has been sitting to our west and south in recent days will weaken later today and an upper-level ridge will expand westward along the eastern seaboard during the weekend. As a result, the unsettled weather we’ve been experiencing in recent days will tend to settle down this weekend and it’ll also turn rather hot by early next week. High temperatures of at least 90 degrees are back on the table for around here as we end the weekend and begin the new work week.

Strong upper-level low pressure is situated over the south-central US and it is combining with a Bermuda high pressure system to persistently pump moist air from the tropical Atlantic to the Mid-Atlantic. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will continue right into the early part of the weekend and, given the well-saturated grounds, flash flooding will remain a concern over the next few days. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will diminish for the bulk of the weekend and it'll turn hotter early next week with temperatures climbing back to the 90 degree mark for highs.

A warm front passed through the region in the overnight hours and it’ll turn warmer for the next few days and higher humidity will lead to occasional downpours in the Mid-Atlantic region. Strong upper-level low pressure is situated over the Midwest and it is combining with a Bermuda High to pump moist air from the tropical Atlantic to the Mid-Atlantic. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will continue right into the weekend and, given the well-saturated grounds, flash flooding could become an increasing problem as the week progresses.

Yet another period of wet weather is unfolding for the eastern third of the nation and it will include some downpours for the I-95 corridor during the second half of the week. Strong upper-level low pressure has developed over the Midwest and it will combine with a Bermuda High to pump moist air from the tropical Atlantic to the Mid-Atlantic during the next several days. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible around here later today and tonight and then are likely to be more widespread in the Wednesday-to-Friday time period. Given the fact that grounds are very well saturated throughout the region, flash flooding will likely become an increasing threat as the week progresses.

Yet another extended period of wet weather is unfolding for the eastern third of the nation and it may include some downpours. Strong upper-level low pressure will develop over the Midwest in the coming days and it will combine with a Bermuda High to persistently pump moist air from south-to-north along the eastern seaboard. As a result, there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms later tonight and Tuesday and then a rather high chance through the remainder of the week. Given the fact that grounds are very well saturated throughout the region, flash flooding will remain an on-going serious threat.

A strong cool front is closing in on the I-95 corridor and strong-to-severe thunderstorms are popping over the past couple of hours. Daytime heating is contributing to increasing instability in the atmosphere and the coverage and intensity of shower and thunderstorm activity should increase through the afternoon hours. Any storm that forms over the next several hours can produce brief downpours, damaging gusty winds and even some hail. There is also the potential for some steadier and heavier rain this evening; especially, in areas north of the PA/MD border.

A strong cool front will approach the region later today and there can be a band of strong-to-severe thunderstorms that develop just ahead of this system with a possible impact here late in the day or early tonight. The best chance for brief downpours and potential strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity will likely come somewhere in the 2-10PM time period. Following the frontal passage, the weekend should turn out to be pretty decent around here with some sunshine expected each day, but the overall weather pattern shaping up for next week has a rather familiar and wet look to it. In fact, there is likely to be more soaking rainfall next week in the already well-saturated eastern US as a persistent south-to-north flow of moist air develops along the eastern seaboard – in much the same fashion as it did earlier this week.

While we’ll still have a threat for an isolated shower or thunderstorm today, there will be noticeable improvement with plenty of afternoon sunshine and warmer conditions. A cool front will approach on Friday and there can be a band of strong-to-severe thunderstorms that form just ahead of this front - perhaps having an impact in our area late in the day or early tomorrow night. The weekend should turn out to be pretty decent around here with some sunshine expected each day, but the overall weather pattern shaping up for next week has a rather familiar and wet look to it. In fact, and I don't like saying this, but there may be more heavy rainfall next week in much of the eastern US.
