Discussion
An active stretch of weather gets underway later today as low pressure intensifies near the Carolina coastline and then pushes northward to southern New Jersey by mid-day tomorrow. An initial wave of energy in the upper part of the atmosphere will contribute to a soaking rain event here from later today into Saturday and then a second disturbance will bring additional showers from late Sunday night into early Monday. Following the second system, it’ll turn dry, but remain on the chilly side of normal on Tuesday and then turn milder on Wednesday (Halloween Day).
