Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – A stretch of steady rain has come to a pause across the Mid-Atlantic, as high pressure settles over the region and dries things out. After days of unsettled weather, residents from Harrisburg to Baltimore and Philadelphia are seeing a noticeable drop in rainfall totals, with the latest 24-hour estimates showing almost no new accumulation for most of the area.
According to the US National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, the only significant rainfall Monday into Tuesday was confined to southern Maryland and Virginia, where a cold front brought brief showers before moving south out of the region. The rest of the Mid-Atlantic—spanning Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey—remained largely dry as drier, cooler air filtered in.
Travelers and commuters on major routes like I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike will find roads dry and visibility clear. Emergency managers report no flooding concerns and minimal risk for power outages this week. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the break in storms by checking storm drains, completing outdoor projects, and planning events with confidence.
High pressure will continue to dominate through Thursday, keeping skies mostly sunny and rain chances low. The National Weather Service advises that conditions could shift heading into the weekend, so stay alert for any late-week updates.
