Happy Monday and welcome to a new week! We’re expecting calm and pleasant weather today, with transient cloud cover and seasonable temperatures. This will come as a refreshing change after an unsettled weekend and rainy Sunday. The weather pattern, however, will remain very active. Multiple storm systems will eventually impact the area this week.

An active and cooler weather pattern is expected to continue, with another round of showers tonight. A frontal boundary approaching the region from the west will lead to increasingly unsettled conditions as the day goes on. The heaviest rain will likely come between 7 and 9 pm, with some localized flooding possible.
Conditions are expected to improve as we go through the later part of the evening. Westerly winds will usher in cooler and drier air, with pleasant weather expected on both Wednesday and Thursday. The next chance of rain won’t arrive until later Friday and perhaps Saturday.

The second coastal storm in as many weeks will develop on Wednesday off the shores of the Mid-Atlantic, swinging northward towards New England while strengthening. By Thursday morning, the system will be located near Eastern New England, and may be strong enough to set monthly low pressure records in some areas.
Last weeks coastal storm, while impressive and subtropical in nature, was situated further offshore and moving much slower. This storm is occurring as a result of a dynamic “phase” in the mid levels of the atmosphere. This occurs when two disturbances interact with one another, often forcing the development of a strong low pressure system at the surface.
