Harrisburg, PA – Rain showers and thunderstorms are moving through the Mid-Atlantic region today, with another round expected Saturday, bringing several days of unsettled weather.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, precipitation totals over the next 72 hours are projected to range from 0.1 inches in Virginia to as much as 1.5 inches in western Pennsylvania and New York. Locally higher rainfall amounts are possible in certain areas.
Forecasters noted that while the rain will be widespread, no river flooding is expected with this system. Rainfall totals are expected to be manageable, though drivers are urged to remain cautious as heavy downpours could lead to ponding on roadways and reduced visibility during peak storm periods.
The weather pattern is expected to bring a mix of showers and thunderstorms throughout Thursday, with a brief lull Friday before storms redevelop on Saturday. Residents across Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maryland, and surrounding states should prepare for periods of wet weather through the weekend.
Officials recommend monitoring updated forecasts for any changes in rainfall intensity or coverage, particularly in areas that have already seen significant precipitation in recent weeks.
