6:00 AM | **Occasional rain through tonight with embedded thunderstorms...some of the rain will be heavy...some of the storms can be strong-to-severe**

Paul Dorian

Low pressure has developed in the Ohio Valley and it will push northeastward to New England during the next 24 hours or so riding along a stalled-out frontal boundary zone. The combination of the low pressure system and front will bring numerous showers and thunderstorms to the Mid-Atlantic region through tonight…some of the rain will be heavy and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. The weather remains somewhat unsettled for Friday and the upcoming weekend with the chance of a couple of showers on each day.

**Two tropical systems to dance with each other off the east coast in coming days...”Fujiwhara effect” makes for a challenging forecast**

Paul Dorian

The Atlantic Basin is quite active as we head towards the end of September with three tropical systems currently on the playing field including a “major” Hurricane Gabrielle which is now racing off to the east-northeast and is no threat to the US. In fact, Hurricane Gabrielle could impact the Azores Islands and Portugal down the road in a weakened state after crossing over the cooler waters of the North Atlantic.

Meanwhile, the other two tropical systems pose more of a challenge in terms of forecasting their eventual paths and magnitudes. It appears quite likely that both systems will reach named tropical storm classification and potentially, both may climb to hurricane status. It also appears quite likely that these two systems will end up doing some sort of a dance around each other for awhile (“Fujiwhara effect”) and at least one may come uncomfortably close to the US east coast and we may not know the end of the story until we get ten or so days out from now.

6:00 AM | **Afternoon showers likely and a possible thunderstorm...numerous showers and thunderstorms from tonight into tomorrow night...an inch or more of rainfall on the table**

Paul Dorian

A cold frontal system will inch its way across the region today and stall out just to our south before pushing back to the north later tomorrow as a warm front. Low pressure will develop in the Ohio Valley on Thursday and push towards the northeastern states riding along the frontal boundary zone. Another cold front slides through at week’s end to be followed by high pressure which will gradually build back into the region during the upcoming weekend.

As a result of this combination of fronts and low pressure systems, more rain is coming to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this looks like a soaking rain event with an inch or more on the table. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely later today and then numerous showers and thunderstorms are on the way for later tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. There can be a few lingering showers on Friday and Saturday with plenty of clouds around and it should be generally dry on Sunday and Monday (one caveat on the expected generally dry conditions on Sunday and Monday…we will need to keep our eyes on a couple of tropical systems that should be over the western Atlantic this weekend).

6:00 AM | *A warming trend begins today with afternoon highs near 70 degrees and then 80 degrees is likely for the remainder of the week and upcoming weekend*

Paul Dorian

After a chilly, wet day on Tuesday that included some snow up in the mountains, the weather turns warmer and drier today across the region with high pressure edging into the area. A warming trend will bring high temperatures of near 70 degrees this afternoon to near 80-degree mark for the rest of the week and upcoming weekend.

6:00 AM | *Scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be strong...more widespread rain is likely from late tomorrow night into early Friday*

Paul Dorian

A warm front is advancing through the area this morning and a cold frontal system will inch its way across the region later tomorrow before stalling out just to the south of here. Low pressure will develop along the frontal boundary zone on Thursday and then another front slides through at week’s end. As the cold front begins its approach to the area later today, the chance of scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will increase and some of the storms can be strong. The best chance for rain later today and early tonight will likely be on the northern and western side of the metro region. The low pressure system will enhance the chance for some steadier and soaking rainfall around here from late Wednesday night into early Friday with an inch or more of rainfall on the table.
