Richmond, VA – Rain is expected to continue across portions of the Mid-Atlantic through Wednesday, bringing the heaviest totals to coastal areas of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey.
According to the National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, some rainfall was recorded yesterday and overnight across eastern Virginia, southeast Maryland, and Delaware. The system will deliver additional precipitation today and into Wednesday, with the strongest impact expected along the coastline.
Forecast maps show rainfall amounts ranging from a quarter-inch inland to more than one inch along coastal Virginia and Maryland, with localized higher totals possible. The heaviest rain bands are likely near Richmond and Tidewater, where more than an inch and a half of precipitation could accumulate.
Meanwhile, much of southern New York and northern to central Pennsylvania will remain largely dry despite ongoing drought conditions. The weather service noted that these areas could benefit from rainfall, but this system will track too far east to provide relief.
Drivers along I-95 and other major corridors near the coast should be alert for wet pavement, reduced visibility, and minor flooding in low-lying areas through midweek.
