Philadelphia, PA – A cold front is moving across the Mid-Atlantic, bringing widespread rain and a drop in temperatures heading into the weekend. While the rainfall is not expected to be heavy enough to cause major flooding, some locations may see minor river action stage rises.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, dry and warm conditions will persist today before the cold front arrives on Thursday night into Friday. Rain will spread across the region, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and parts of New Jersey, accompanied by cooler air.
The system is expected to linger into the weekend, keeping temperatures below average for late March. While widespread flooding is not anticipated, residents in low-lying or flood-prone areas should monitor river levels, as isolated rises may occur.
Travelers should prepare for wet roadways on Friday and Saturday, with potential delays during morning and evening commutes. Officials advise keeping an umbrella handy and dressing for cooler conditions.
