Rainy times to alternate with dry episodes in the Middle Atlantic
Updated Apr 10, 2021 4:28 PM EDT
Cooler air moved in from the Atlantic, affecting areas from the Appalachians to the East Coast on Friday. Low clouds cover the sky in many areas. Those clouds were persistent on Saturday morning, but they tend to dissipate now that the flow from the ocean has stopped.
During Saturday afternoon and Saturday night, locally severe thunderstorms can occur from Indiana and Ohio to the Gulf coast with the worst activity and the biggest threat over South Georgia and northern Florida. On Sunday, some thunderstorms can develop anywhere from New York state to Georgia with a marginal risk for severe storms farther south in Florida.
On the satellite radar composite, we see a sprawling storm extending from the Midwest of the Gulf coast with the storm continuing to move eastward.
The map below shows the radar display from the storm in better detail than we see on the satellite radar composite.
On Saturday night, rain will affect the area from eastern Michigan to Pennsylvania and should just be approaching the middle Atlantic coast on Sunday morning.
The showers on the map from Sunday morning are shown as a thinner band of showers from New York state to south of Connecticut on the map for 8 p.m. Sunday. A second area of showers and thunderstorms is predicted to develop across western and central Pennsylvania south to Virginia during the day Sunday.
By Monday morning, that second band of showers and thunderstorms should extend from central New York state to New Jersey.
During the day Monday, that band of showers will slow down. We will only see it only reaching areas in western New England by the end of the day.
The air mass behind the storm system is not really cold, but it is cooler than the air mass that will be in the middle Atlantic region Sunday into Monday. That cooler or should spread over the rest of the middle Atlantic region and New England Monday night and Tuesday.
