Brace Yourselves: A Week of Rain and Temperature Swings Ahead
Get ready for a real rollercoaster of a week when it comes to the weather! Today’s mild 51-degree high offered a welcome break from the recent chill, and those pleasant temperatures are sticking around for the start of the work week.
A Soggy Start and Potential Flooding Concerns
But don’t forget your umbrella tomorrow – a mellow 50-degree high won’t save you from intermittent bursts of rain arriving “from late morning on,” according to forecasts. And the chance of fog creeping in during the evening adds another layer of gloom to the day.
Tuesday brings little relief. Expect the temperature to inch slightly higher, barely reaching 52 degrees, but with even more rain joining the party Tuesday night and lingering through most of Wednesday. In fact, the AccuWeather website warns that this prolonged deluge “can lead to flooding.”
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bill Deger added, “Both the morning and evening commutes in cities such as Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston can be slowed by downpours, which can also cause localized flooding.”
A Temporary Respite and the Return of Sunshine
Wednesday will see a welcome jump in temperature, rising to a balmy 58 degrees amidst the steady rain. However, brace yourself for a sharp drop in the evening – the mercury will plummet to a crisp 33 degrees as the rain clears, leaving a clear but chilly night.
Thursday brings an escape from the rain with a sunny but cool high of 39 degrees. Friday follows suit, offering a similar mix of sunshine and chill, topping out at 37 degrees.
The weekend promises a gradual return to warmer weather. Saturday will tiptoe back into the low 40s, while Sunday rounds off the week with a comfortable 50-degree high. Sadly, the skies won’t be as cooperative; as temperatures rise, sunshine will make a diminishing appearance.
How will the meteorologist and their team keep the public informed about any potential localized flooding as the heavy rainfall continues?
