Welcome to August
The convective nature of yesterday's weather meant some people didn't see much rain while other people saw a lot. Some parts of eastern Pennsylvania Into the Middle Atlantic and even Southern England had 2-3 inches of rain. Others saw 4-5 inch if not more. Some areas saw quite a bit of flooding.
The surface chart shows the frontal boundary still slipping south of the region. Radar is showing not a lot going on. Satellite shows clearing skies over the Middle Atlantic, As the area of low pressure continues to push away. We're going to see high pressure Move in overhead providing a several day stretch of nice dry weather.
Today into Wednesday temperatures will be cool generally low average and humidity levels will be low. Night time lows will be cool enough that some of y'all might have to wear a jacket. Tuesday we'll see the temperature starting to slightly climb up along with humidity trying to creep up a bit; but it still should be very comfortable.
Wednesday will start out dry. Then clouds will increase with a chance of some very isolated showers moving in ahead of an area of low pressure and cold front that will be a approaching. The cold front will drop in through the region on Thursday, bringing rain showers and some thunderstorms. On Thursday New England, New York State into northern Pennsylvania rain should be fairly isolated, so many might not even see any measurable rain. South of there will have a better chance of seeing scattered rain showers. The front is going to slow down and we will see some low pressure move along it, creating a chance for some rain on Thursday for parts of the Middle Atlantic region. The Middle Atlantic will still be dealing with this area of low pressure Thursday night into Friday rain will be scattered and it could be Moderate to heavy for some at times. Right now next weekend is trending dry.
Looking out a little further into the future. The pattern we've been experiencing looks to hang around. I still think we're going to come under the influence of the Bermuda high in the Atlantic and it's going to send heat and humidity back into our region at times. Then as the short waves continue to come out of the Great Lakes; they will run into the warm and humid air masses in place creating chances for storms and heavy rain at times.
