Discussion
After a pretty tranquil weekend, there will be two rain events this week as the nationwide active weather pattern continues. The first rain event will take place tonight and Tuesday as the next wave of low pressure arrives from the "wave train" that has been crossing the country from west-to-east in recent days. This initial event will likely be a moderate rain event with a possible strong thunderstorm in some spots. The total rainfall by later tomorrow should be anywhere from a 1.25 to 2.00 inches and keep in the mind, the ground is now saturated. The second rain event this week will feature a powerful low pressure system and arrives here on Thursday. It could result in heavy rainfall around here and possibly even some severe thunderstorm activity in parts of the Mid-Atlantic. It'll turn windy and noticeably cooler on Friday on the backside of that storm with possible lingering rain showers around here and accumulating snow in the mountains of western NY, western PA, western MD and West Virginia. One final note, as far as early planting is concerned, it appears there will be occasional cold shots in the Mid-Atlantic region going right into at least the middle part of the month.
