Tuesday’s Forecast: Rain Chances Begin to Increase

Brought to you by Chesapeake Orthodontics

As promised, we are starting to see our rain chances increase! Rain chances will remain elevated for much of the next 7-10 day period. Yesterday we saw the showers and storms mainly confined to our west. Today, though, we may see a shower or two wander into our region.

We are off to a somewhat mild start this morning with temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s. We will keep partly-to-mostly cloudy skies throughout the day. Temperatures will look to warm into the lower 80s with an easterly wind that could gust up to 20-25mph at times.

Our Hi-Resolution Futurecast shows that rain chances today will begin to increase around lunchtime and stick with us into the evening. It will not rain everywhere, and it will not rain all day. We are likely just talking about quick-hitting, isolated showers with a few heavier pockets of rain possible. Afternoon rain chances sit around 30-40%.

This year, we have been exceptionally dry across the Mid-Atlantic with Moderate Drought conditions forming. Well, we will see some much-needed relief come our way. An area of low pressure will look to stall out over the Southeast.

The increased moisture flow off the Atlantic will bring that heightened chance of rain for the next week or so. We could see 1-3″+ of rain fall over that period! We currently sit in a 5-8″ rain deficit on the year.
