East Coast Rain!

Good news for the very dry conditions in the East. The latest models indicate that there will be some light rain and thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow across the Southeast and in around the New York City metro area. A more significant storm is forecast to form along the Mid-Atlantic states on Saturday with another storm forecast to develop over the Southeast. The latest GFS indicates that the storm that forms over the Southeast will track far enough east thereby keeping the heavier rain off the coast. New Jersey, southeast New York and Connecticut are in a moderate to severe drought and any rain will be beneficial. Much cooler weather will prevail through early next week.
