Another storm system will impact the region today and it will generate strong winds, periods of rain and a possible strong thunderstorm. Rainfall amounts are likely to end up in the 1-3 inch range from this system and - given the already pretty well saturated grounds - flash flood watches have already been issued in some areas. Winds will become quite strong later today from a E-SE direction as the low pressure system approaches and potentially can gust into the 40-50 mph range. With the expected long time period of an onshore flow during this event, coastal flooding is a serious concern. The coastal flooding threat is not only a concern along the Atlantic Ocean, but also with respect to the Delaware Bay/Delaware River; especially, during tonight’s high tide. It remains quite unsettled on Saturday with lots of clouds remaining and a continuing shower threat. The weather should settle down some for Sunday although a shower cannot be completely ruled out and Monday should turn out to be a dry and cool day.

The next storm for the Mid-Atlantic region will arrive on Friday and this system will bring another soaking rainfall and strong E-SE winds for an extended period of time. As a result of the expected long and strong onshore flow of air with this next storm, coastal flooding is a big concern in all susceptible areas of the Mid-Atlantic.

High pressure will build into the area today, but its impact will be rather short-lived. Another storm system will reach us on Friday and it will generate more significant rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region likely in the 1-3 inch range. In fact, flash flood watches may have to be issued for this storm given the already pretty well saturated grounds from the rains of earlier this week. In addition to the rain, winds will become quite strong on Friday from a southeasterly direction and potentially gusting into the 40-50 mph range. It remains quite unsettled on Saturday with lots of clouds and a continuing shower threat, but the weather should settle down some for Sunday and especially Monday.

An active weather pattern continues today with a powerful nor’easter finally starting to pull away from the New England coastline and a vigorous upper-level low over Texas that has resulted in an outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Deep South. This same upper-level low will push to the east over the next 24 hours and contribute to a windy and rainy end to the week in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US.

An off-shore storm will shift away from the region today and there will be some sunshine, but its proximity will continue to result in windy conditions in the Mid-Atlantic. High pressure will build into the area on Thursday, but then another storm will form near the eastern seaboard from Friday into Saturday. This next system is associated with the energy left behind from the storm that pounded the west coast on Sunday and Monday and it could bring more significant rain and wind to the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking ahead, a cold front is likely to push our way by the middle part of next week.

A nor’easter will intensify off the southern New England coastline today and then it’ll take a loop back towards Long Island later tonight which will prolong its impact around here into tomorrow morning. Occasional showers are likely here today and tonight and the winds will increase as the off-shore storm intensifies. Another low pressure system can have an impact around here later in the week as energy from yesterday’s west coast storm reaches the eastern seaboard.

A powerful storm system has pounded the west coast during the past 24 hours or so and a strong Nor’easter is about to unfold just off the east coast. This developing Nor’easter will impact much of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US from later tonight into Wednesday morning with flash flooding type rains in some areas and potentially damaging wind gusts; especially, along coastal sections. The development of the east coast storm will wait for the arrival of a surface cold frontal system which will push eastward this afternoon from the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. This frontal system can result in some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity along the I-95 corridor from later today into early tonight following a day of near record warmth.

The passage of a warm front will usher in much warmer air for later today and highs will bounce back into the 70’s after a cool end to the weekend. Low pressure pushes this way from the Midwest tonight and a second one will intensify off the coast on Tuesday. This combination will generate rain in the area from late today into Tuesday and some of it will be heavy at times. In addition, there will be the chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm from later today into tonight. The coastal low pressure system will meander offshore at mid-week and another then storm could impact our region late in the week. Looking ahead, the overall pattern changes quite dramatically next week - the first week of November - with a quick start to some winter-like cold on the table.

One strong storm system has impacted the west coast states from Washington-to-California in the past 24 hours or so with significant rainfall, but an even stronger storm is likely have an impact from Sunday into Monday. In fact, this next storm could become the strongest system in many years to impact the region from British Columbia (Canada) to California. Rainfall will be excessive with this next storm, winds will be powerful and potentially damaging, and snow will pile up in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California. The upper-level support for this system is likely to then cross the country next week and that could result in a mid-week severe weather outbreak and a late week storm near the eastern seaboard.

A cold front will clear through the region this morning and today will turn out a bit cooler than yesterday and the weekend will be on the cool side as well. While there will be some sunshine on each of the next three days, a shower cannot be ruled at times as weak disturbances will pass by. The best chance in awhile for some decent rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region will come from later Monday into Tuesday as low pressure pushes to the east from the Midwestern states. Elsewhere, a major storm will slam into the US west coast from Sunday into Monday with tremendous amounts of precipitation and also powerful winds and it could translate into a storm near the east coast by the end of next week.
