Some spots in the Mid-Atlantic region were hit by drenching showers and thunderstorms this past weekend while other locations (often right nearby) received much less rain than anticipated. There will be opportunities for more rain in all areas through tomorrow night…some of the rain can be heavy at times and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. A slow-moving upper-level low pressure system currently centered over the Ohio Valley will continue to produce unstable atmospheric conditions in the region leading to additional bands of showers and thunderstorms.
While the weather settles down a bit on Wednesday as the upper-low grudgingly lifts its way to the northeast of here, there can still be a few showers in the area and perhaps even a thunderstorm or two. A cold front will then drop southeastward on Thursday crossing the Great Lakes and reaching the Mid-Atlantic region. At the same time, an upper-level low will try to re-develop over the Mid-Atlantic region and low pressure may form along the frontal boundary zone. The end result could be more showers around here later Thursday and potentially even some steadier rain from Thursday night into Friday. The weekend may turn out pretty well assuming the late week systems push off to the north and east of here.

A prolonged and significant rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region that can actually take us from drought conditions to flooding problems. Several inches of rain will be possible in some spots by the time we get to the middle of next week and strong-to-severe thunderstorms will be included in the mix as well.
Today will turn out to be quite warm and noticeably more humid than yesterday following the passage of a warm front. Temperatures this afternoon should reach into the 80’s and there are likely to be scattered showers and thunderstorms going into the evening hours. On Saturday, a cold front will head towards the east coast and showers and thunderstorms will become increasingly likely as we go through the afternoon hours and then they’ll continue during the evening. Some of the storms that form later tomorrow and tomorrow night and be strong-to-severe and some of the rain will be heavy at times. Looking ahead, the upper part of the atmosphere will evolve into a classic “omega-block” pattern and one that can produce occasional rain in the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday into the middle of next week. Some of this rainfall is likely to be heavy at times with additional strong-to-severe thunderstorms on the table during the first half of next week.

It stays relatively dry around here through Saturday, but the late weekend and first half of next week become very unsettled with showers and thunderstorms on the table. A strong upper-level low will combine with an incoming colder-than-normal air mass to destabilize the atmosphere during the first half of next week which can result in rain, heavy at times, and the potential for some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.

The threat of showers and thunderstorms will continue through Saturday in the Tennessee Valley as an upper-level low forms over the Ohio 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 can be occasional showers and thunderstorms across the region through tonight, but the work week should close out on a dry note with plenty of sunshine expected on Friday. The weekend turns warmer and stays relatively dry and then a deep cutoff low pressure system could produce showers and thunderstorms during the first half of next week...even the threat of severe weather over the plains.
