There is a growing chance that a prolonged and significant rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region…something not seen in these parts in quite awhile.
While there can be some shower and thunderstorm activity from later today into later Saturday, the main event likely begins on Saturday night with heavier and steadier rainfall and then rain is likely to be a threat on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and perhaps even Wednesday as well. A warm front lifts through the region tonight with some shower activity and then Friday will turn into a very warm and humid day with scattered showers and thunderstorms…much of the day should be rain-free. On Saturday, a cold front will head towards the eastern US and showers and thunderstorms will become increasingly likely by the time we get to Saturday evening. Some of the rain late Saturday/Saturday night can be heavy at times with the arrival of the cold front and there can be strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity included.
Looking ahead, the upper-level pattern will evolve into an “omega-block” situation and one that can produce occasional rain and cooler conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday into the middle of next week. Some of this rainfall during the first half of next week can be heavy at times and this unfolding scenario could put a real dent in any drought conditions that remain in the area.

A somewhat unsettled and warm, humid pattern is in the offing for the Tennessee Valley during the next few days with a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 80’s this afternoon for highs and 80+ degrees is expected on Friday before it cools down some to the middle 70’s on Saturday.

This is certainly one of those stories that has been a long time in the making...a 53-year-old Soviet spacecraft that was originally bound for Venus is set to crash into Earth in ten days or so. The spacecraft suffered an engine anomaly and failed to escape low Earth orbit, and it is now expected to make an uncontrolled re-entry around the 10th of May. This spacecraft was built to withstand extreme heat so it is likely that parts of the spacecraft can survive the descent through our atmosphere and crash on Earth.

Powerful thunderstorms that pounded western and central Pennsylvania last night fell apart by the time they reached the eastern third of the state due to the very dry air in place around here and also the overall weakening of the support in the upper atmosphere. High pressure returns to the area today as a weak cold front settles just to our south. This same frontal system will turnaround later tomorrow and lift through the area as a warm front with some shower activity and perhaps a thunderstorm. It’ll turn out quite warm and downright humid on Friday with an occasional shower and an afternoon or evening thunderstorm is possible; however, much of the day should be rain-free. More widespread shower activity is expected for Saturday as a cold front arrives and then an upper-level low form in the eastern US and produce additional unsettled weather around here during the early part of next week.
