A stormy weather pattern exists across the nation late this week, and that means lots of rainfall for many areas, including the Northeast. Although a couple of regions of the country will deal with severe weather today and tonight, the Northeast will get the heaviest rainfall. Areas that will be hardest-hit will be the I-95 corridor, including the cities of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.

Along with the rain, cooler air will seep southward into the mid-Atlantic from a north-northwest flow today. Temperatures will struggle to get to 60 in many areas. Combine the temperature with the rain, and the Northeast will be facing a dreary day.
