Harrisburg, PA – Residents across the Mid-Atlantic should expect another stretch of dry weather as high pressure continues to dominate the region through early next week.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, only a small chance of rain exists for Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula later next week. Otherwise, most areas will see little to no precipitation in the coming days.
Forecasters note that the ongoing lack of rain is impacting local waterways. Streamflows are expected to continue decreasing throughout the Susquehanna, Delaware, Potomac, and James River basins. Many rivers and creeks remain steady but are slowly falling as conditions persist.
The seven-day precipitation outlook shows most of the Mid-Atlantic receiving less than half an inch of rainfall through September 19. The exception may be far southern areas, but widespread wet weather is not anticipated.
Officials caution that prolonged dryness could lead to continued lowering of river levels, which may affect boating, fishing, and water supply in some communities if the pattern holds. Residents in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas are encouraged to monitor updates in case of any forecast changes
