Discussion
A very wet weather pattern in the eastern US that began with the weekend coastal storm will continue through the first half of the week as deep tropical moisture continues to flow northward from the tropical Atlantic to the Mid-Atlantic. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will continue each day through mid-week aided by an unusually strong upper-level trough of low pressure that will be relatively stationary for the next few days over the Southeast US. Flooding potential will remain high as any shower or thunderstorm that forms can produce heavy rainfall amounts in a short period of time on top of already well-saturated grounds.
