After a foggy and chilly start, umbrellas will be out again on Monday across parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic thanks to another chilly wave of rain.

Low pressure gathered plenty of moisture over the South on Sunday night, with a quick-hitting shot of up to 0.25 of an inch from Tupelo to Huntsville and Knoxville.

This rain will lift north and eastward on Monday, arriving in the morning from Raleigh into Richmond and Norfolk, before making it farther north into Washington D.C., and Baltimore in time for the afternoon commute.

Steady rain should hold off from Philadelphia northward to Allentown and New York City until the late afternoon or early evening hours, and traveling after dark in these areas will certainly be on the wet side.

Be sure to have your umbrellas ready and your wipers in good working order if you'll be driving to work, picking up or dropping off the kids from school or heading out and about for the evening.

For those traveling farther north and west away from the I-95 corridor, high pressure will take control of the weather from Pittsburgh to Syracuse and Albany, allowing for plenty of sunshine.
