Drought Relief Rain Probable Into Weekend

The first shot of rain that moved through last night and this morning didn’t really amount to too much with most areas getting less than a quarter of an inch. But this weather front does start the process for more rain later this week. You can see the spinning upper air storm over the Great Lakes beginning its slow dive south southeastward into the Ohio Valley. This sets the ball in motion for some rain to gradually develop in areas later Wednesday into Wednesday night and then spread northward and continue possibly into Friday morning.

Over the short term with the rain pretty much done with, we could see some brightening of skies and some breaks of sunshine develop during this afternoon from west to east. The satellite loop does show dry air moving pretty quickly across Pennsylvania so it should reach the coast this afternoon. No issues tonight other than clouds. Temperatures today will be in the low to middle 70s and then cool off tonight into the 50s and lower 60s.

Wednesday clouds gradually return. Rain arrives in southern and western areas Wednesday night and then at the coast Thursday. As has been the case throughout the last few weeks it has been wise to be conservative when it comes to rainfall totals and indeed the GFS model has shifted the area of heavy rains west and south. The cumulative rainfall for the next 6 days is still on the order of at least a few inches in most places but the 4 to 6 inch amounts are shifted south and westward. How this ultimately sets up remains to be seen.
