Remnants of Arthur Pass By Friday Morning

The remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Arthur are now racing through the Southeast, bringing heavy rain, flooding concerns, and even tornadoes across parts of the Gulf Coast. While the strongest impacts will remain well to our south, the system’s outer rain bands may clip portions of our region late tonight into Friday morning.

A cold front dropping southward will help steer Arthur’s remnants offshore Friday, but not before some tropical moisture spreads northward. Locally, the best chance for rain will be south of DC, across Southern Maryland and Central Virginia. This is where periods of light to moderate rain are possible through Friday morning. While most locations will see relatively low rainfall totals, some areas could locally pick up around an inch of rain if heavier bands briefly move overhead.

The good news is that the ingredients needed for severe weather and tornadoes will remain well south of our area. By Friday afternoon, Arthur’s remnants will move offshore, rain will end from northwest to southeast, and drier air will begin moving in by midday Friday.
