A quick overview of this week’s weather.
Outside of a few isolated showers, yesterday was great. Low pressure that was centered over Illinois yesterday is going to be rotating around into New York State. A leading warm front is pushing through the region, allowing temperature and humidity levels to climb. We have a slow moving cold front approaching, which is in the process of stalling over the Ohio Valley and extend up over New York State.
Along and
ahead of the front we have scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms. These
are going to become more widespread, especially late this afternoon and
tonight.
Some of the
thunderstorms could become strong to severe this afternoon and into tonight.
The main danger will be damaging wind gusts and flooding rainfall, particularly
across western Maryland, Pennsylvania. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has a Marginal Risk for severe
weather across western New York State, most of Pennsylvania into New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland in the northern
Middle Atlantic. The Marginal Risk moves into much of New England and continues
into the Middle Atlantic tonight and tomorrow. there is a chance SPC increases the risk for tomorrow.
These showers
and storms will drop several inches of rain. Leading to the threat for
localized flash and metro flooding. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has a Slight Risk for excessive
rainfall across this area along that stalled frontal boundary. With a Marginal Risk across
the rest of the Middle Atlantic, Pennsylvania and western New England.
Tonight, and
tomorrow the flood risk will expand eastward.
The Quantitative
Precipitation Forecast (QPF) for the 1-5 day.
We’re going
to be dealing with persistent troughing this week, with several systems rolling
through, keeping things very unsettled. General rainfall over the next week,
will be 1-3 inches with localized areas seeing 3-6 inches of rain. Who sees the
most rain will depend in we’re training storms setup. The second half of the week will be much drier
than the first half. Then a stronger cold front moves through for Friday and
Saturday.
Have a great
rest of your day!
