Midweek Showers Bring Locally Heavy Rainfall, Strong Winds Mid-Atlantic

A broad area of low pressure is bringing daily chances of showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast through the end of the week, with scattered storms possibly becoming strong or severe. Temperatures will vary regionally, with highs ranging from the 60s and 70s in some areas to the 80s and low 90s in others, accompanied by gusty winds at times. In the Mid-Atlantic, this rainfall is expected to help alleviate ongoing drought conditions. South Florida will experience leftover showers Tuesday evening and a hot day with temperatures near the low 90s on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Western New York is seeing scattered showers amid a significant drought, with sporadic storms and some risk of damaging winds during afternoon heating. The weekend looks drier with mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures in many areas, although a few showers may occur in higher elevations and other isolated spots.
