A rather unsettled week ahead...

After all the beautiful weather this past week, the coming week will present the complete opposite. Get used to the clouds and rain, as much of the week will be unsettled. Low pressure slowly tracking north through the Mid-Atlantic will bring an increase in shower coverage tonight, and some heavy rain is possible at times tomorrow. Our computer data suggests up to an inch of rain could be on the way through early Tuesday evening, with another 1/2 inch or so on Wednesday. With an enhanced onshore flow, there could certainly be locally higher amounts, particularly east of Interstate 95.

While I do expect us to see a little sun later in the week, waves of moisture will continue to ride up along the coast and it looks like the onshore flow will stick around. This means the threat for at least a few showers will remain in the forecast through the rest of the work week. Hopefully by the weekend, we'll get more significant drying to take place. In the mean time, our lawns will appreciate the water from Mother Nature.
