Storminess On Its Way

The first round of showers arrived today. But that's only a sign of things to come...

Here's a GFS forecast map for 8 AM this morning. There's a cold front stalled to our north and an area of low pressure at the tail end of it. NOTICE THE PLACEMENT OF THE LOW PRESSURE. The scattered showers will continue this afternoon. But as we head into tonight that low will approach sparking heavier rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Northern Delmarva could pick up over 1.5" of rain out of this system if the axis of heavy precipitation passes through that region (what the models are currently saying.) But there's more...


This next forecast map is Sunday morning at 2 am.
Notice, the placement of the next low?? Look familiar? The next storm will also move out of the Plains and into the Ohio River Valley bringing showers to Delmarva late Sunday into Monday. But there's more...

This is a forecast map for next Wednesday night.
Granted this is still far out, but I thought it was interesting to again, notice the placement of the low pressure system. All of the systems have been near the Mississippi River, around the Missouri/Arkansas border. Will that be our next rain maker late next week?? We'll just have to wait to see...
