The big weather story of the week will be the passage of a slow-moving frontal system which can be accompanied by some heavy rain and possible thunderstorm activity from late Wednesday into early Friday. Ahead of the front, high pressure will be in control for the next couple of days with comfortable conditions and cooler-than-normal air will follow for the late week and weekend.
Read MoreThe cold front that generated yesterday’s showers and thunderstorms will tend to linger near the coast today as an upper-level trough slides slowly across the region. As a result, there can be a lingering shower or thunderstorm in the region and clouds are likely to persist for much of the day. Clearing skies tonight will result in noticeably cooler conditions and the next couple of days will be quite comfortable for this time of year and there should be plenty of sunshine as well. The overall pattern remains pretty nice as we get to early next week with temperatures climbing a bit compared to the early weekend levels.
Read MoreThe weather has certainly been active in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US in recent weeks and there is yet another threat for severe thunderstorm activity later today and tonight. A strong cold front will drop southeastward later today from the Great Lakes and into the region and it will be supported by an impressive wave of energy in the upper atmosphere. As a result, there is the chance for downpours later today into tonight and any severe storm can produce hail and perhaps even isolated tornadoes. Give the already well-saturated grounds, any heavy rainfall can result in localized flash flooding conditions. The passage of the strong cold front will usher in a very comfortable air mass for the region to close out the work week and begin the upcoming weekend.
Read MoreA cold front will arrive later today and present us with the best chance of showers and thunderstorms this week. In fact, some of the late day and evening storms in the Mid-Atlantic region can be severe with brief heavy downpours possible and even isolated tornadoes. Given the well-saturated grounds, any heavy rainfall later today can result in localized flash flooding. Following the passage of the front, the latter part of the week will feature comfortable weather conditions to go along with plenty of sunshine. The nice weather pattern will continue into the upcoming weekend and temperatures will warm a bit, but remain pretty comfortable for this time of year.
Read MoreThe shortened work week will begin with very nice weather in the Mid-Atlantic region as high pressure remains in control and results in plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions. The best chance for showers and thunderstorms over the next few days will come later tomorrow into tomorrow night when a cold front arrives and it could generate some strong storms and brief downpours. Behind the front, the weather will turn out quite nice once again for the latter part of the week and likely during the upcoming weekend as well.
Read MoreA stretch of nice weather will continue into next week as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures will remain in the comfortable zone for the early part of September and slightly below-normal for this time of year. After a dry day on Saturday, a shower or two cannot be ruled out on Sunday with the approach of a weak front.
Read MoreIn the wake of yesterday's high impact weather event, a stretch of nice weather is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region. Drier and cool air for this time of year has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region following the movement of “Ida” to the New England coastline. High pressure will build into the area by later tonight and this system will result in nice weather around here right through the upcoming weekend with temperatures staying quite comfortable for early September.
Read MoreA significant rain event continues at this time across much of the Mid-Atlantic region associated with the remains of Ida. Flooding has already occurred in some areas as a result of heavy rainfall, strong thunderstorms and already well-saturated grounds. The threat of tornadoes will increase markedly later in the day generally in areas along and to the southeast of the DC-to-Philly-to-Atlantic City corridor. Ida is still classified as a tropical depression and it will likely strengthen some later today as it encounters an upper-level jet streak that is located over the northeastern states.
Read More*A high impact weather event today and tonight in the Mid-Atlantic region with heavy rainfall, the potential for widespread flooding, and a tornado threat as well*. The remnants of Ida will get “re-invigorated” today as this tropical depression encounters a stalled-out frontal boundary zone and interacts with a strong upper-level jet streak. Flooding is a serious concern for the next 24 hours or so given the already well-saturated grounds and the prospects of several inches of rainfall. Cool air for early September will follow the storm for Thursday, Friday and Saturday confining afternoon highs to the 70’s in most spots.
Read MoreIda has been downgraded to a tropical depression, but its impact is far from over. A heavy rain and flooding event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday and Wednesday night and there is a severe weather threat as well to include the possibility of tornadoes. The axis of heaviest rainfall may set up just to the north and west of the I-95 corridor and the greatest chance of severe weather may be just to the south and east of there. The remnants of Ida will get “re-invigorated” later tomorrow as it encounters a stalled-out frontal boundary zone and interacts with a strong upper-level jet streak.
