Synopsis:
A Southerly flow will develop around the departing high this weekend. This will result in mainly cloudy skies today. Showers will develop this afternoon from Southwest to Northeast (FutureCast Radar above).
On Sunday a deep plume of moisture will move up the Piedmont along a stationary front. The Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic will influence this area of rain. The rain could be heavy at times. One to three inches of rain is possible. The heavy axis of rain looks to setup from the I-95 vicinity to the coast . A Flood Watch has been posted for this area, which is in NJ. NYC and to the North the Flood Watch has not been posted at this time. This will most likely be extended North and East. The rain won’t be nearly as heavy over the distant suburbs. It will be a mild weekend.
