Harrisburg, Pa. – Rain will persist across much of the Mid-Atlantic through Tuesday night as a sluggish area of low pressure continues to crawl eastward, keeping conditions soggy across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and surrounding states.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, the system is expected to exit the region by Wednesday morning. Until then, scattered showers and periods of steady rain will remain possible—especially in northeastern areas. While no river flooding is currently forecast, several river points have risen slightly above Action Stage, signaling elevated water levels that may require close monitoring.
Cities including Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Harrisburg will likely see additional rainfall totals throughout the evening. Wet roadways may cause slick travel conditions during the evening commute, especially on interstates like I-95 and I-83. Drivers should allow extra time and avoid driving through standing water.
Residents are advised to keep drainage areas clear and monitor local updates for any rising creeks or streams, particularly in flood-prone communities. While widespread flooding is not expected, saturated soil could lead to isolated runoff issues.
Rain chances taper off overnight, but additional alerts may be issued if river levels continue rising. The next weather service update is expected early Wednesday.
