Baltimore, MD – Light showers are making their way across the Mid-Atlantic today, bringing steady but not excessive rainfall to parts of Virginia and Maryland. Residents can expect mild weather impacts, with minimal changes anticipated for river conditions in the region.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, central and eastern Virginia as well as southeast Maryland experienced steady rain yesterday and into this morning. Rainfall measured over the past 24 hours reached up to half an inch in localized areas, primarily across southern Virginia and along the lower Eastern Shore.
Looking ahead, scattered showers are forecast to persist throughout parts of the Mid-Atlantic through Saturday, August 9. However, meteorologists emphasize that additional rainfall amounts are expected to remain light—generally under a quarter of an inch. These precipitation totals will not be significant enough to cause rises in local rivers, which are projected to remain steady or slowly fall over the next several days.
The recent rain is not expected to cause any flooding or major travel concerns. Local authorities advise residents and travelers to monitor updated forecasts but do not anticipate the need for flood watches or warnings at this time.
Regional weather patterns remain favorable for continued light precipitation, though no severe weather events are in the outlook. The National Weather Service recommends staying alert to evolving weather updates, especially if traveling in areas known for rapid river level changes during heavy rains.
