Baltimore, MD – Much of the Middle Atlantic region will see continued dry conditions through Tuesday, with more widespread rainfall not expected until midweek.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, Monday will mirror Sunday’s dry weather pattern, with little to no measurable precipitation across the region. Forecasters expect Tuesday to also remain largely dry, except for the possibility of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms in parts of Virginia.
A shift in weather is anticipated Wednesday as a front moves through, bringing more widespread showers and possible thunderstorms. Rainfall totals midweek could range from a tenth of an inch in parts of Pennsylvania to more than half an inch in southern Virginia. Cities such as Richmond, Binghamton, and Wilkes-Barre are projected to see measurable precipitation, while other areas may receive only light amounts.
The forecast data shows zero precipitation for much of the area over the past 24 hours, continuing a trend of limited rainfall in early August. Officials caution that while Wednesday’s rain may offer temporary relief, longer-term dryness could persist if additional weather systems fail to develop.
The National Weather Service advises residents to monitor updated forecasts, particularly those planning outdoor activities on Wednesday when thunderstorm chances increase. Commuters should also be aware of the potential for localized downpours, which could briefly impact travel during peak hours.
