Discussion
A strong coastal storm will produce copious amounts of rain today in the Mid-Atlantic region as our "stuck-in-place" cool and unsettled weather pattern continues. Rain will be heavy at times today and there can be some strong thunderstorms that form this afternoon and coastal flooding is a threat at high tides. The blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere will ensure that any improvement that takes place this weekend will be on the slow side. In fact, showers are possible at just about any time during the day on Saturday and then are likely Saturday night into early Sunday as a cold front crosses the region. Following the frontal passage, bona fide sunshine should return for Mother’s Day afternoon along with a stiffening breeze and temperatures will respond nicely. Looking ahead, next week looks like a warm week; especially, when compared to the past several days, but rain will threaten by mid-week.
