Discussion
Our stretch of pleasant weather is over in the Mid-Atlantic region as copious amounts of moisture is streaming into the area ahead of an intensifying upper-level trough. This upper level trough will take on a “negative” tilt by early tomorrow morning as it pushes southeastward towards the I-95 corridor enhancing upper motion in this area. The combination of the intensifying upper level trough, an impressive low-level jet and high moisture content in this air mass will help generate significant rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic region into early Wednesday with two to as much as five inches possible in the Philly metro region. While heavy rain is possible at just about any time today in the local area, the threat for heavy rain will continue tonight as secondary low pressure develops near the coastline. On Wednesday, the heavy rain threat will shift northeastward into New England where a wild day of weather can be expected. Along with the potential for flash flooding around here, there is a threat for isolated severe weather during this weather event late today into early tonight.
