WEATHER BLOG: Rain Coming

An area of high pressure will be squeezed between two systems; one crossing through Hudson Bay and another that is a shredded remnant disturbance that brought us the pleasant southerly flow the last several days. This high pressure will hold on during the day on Saturday and keep dry weather in the picture. Temperatures will still feel quite mild for this time of year.

Saturday night will continue to be dry, but showers will knock on the door with the leading edge of rain lined up along the Mason-Dixon line. Clouds will be on the increase.

For Sunday, rain will gradually build into the region and will be most steady during the afternoon hours. This is all associated with the "broken pieces" of upper level energy that will be scattered about over the region. Rainfall will continue into Sunday night.

Once again, Monday will feature more rainfall for the region as another disturbance behind the broken upper level low bulldozes through the region.

By Tuesday, a continued shower will be possible, but warmer air will begin to push northward as upper level ridging ahead of a vigorous system in the midwest pushes eastward. Shower chances will decrease as the day wears on. For Wednesday, some of the models depict a shower or even thunderstorm pushing through, but the frontal boundary
will be moving quite slowly by this point. This will be monitored in the coming days.
By Thursday, the front will move through and finally bring the shower to the region.
