Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Most of the Mid-Atlantic can expect a break from the rain this week as a departing low-pressure system ushers in drier conditions, helping rivers begin to recede.
According to the National Weather Service’s Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, rainfall in the past 24 hours was generally light across the region. The exception was far northeastern New York, where slightly higher precipitation totals were recorded through Sunday morning.
Across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and northern Virginia, rainfall amounts remained under half an inch in most locations. The heaviest totals—around 1 to 1.5 inches—were observed near the Adirondacks and upper Hudson Valley.
With the storm system now east of the region, agencies anticipate improved travel and river conditions through at least midweek. Emergency management officials advise residents living near waterways to monitor flood stages, though most rivers are expected to continue receding.
Dry conditions are expected to persist through Thursday, with no major precipitation events on the horizon.
