PREV DISC...
AT 06Z...A 984 MILLIBAR LOW WAS CENTERED NEAR SOUTHERN TIP OF
HUDSON BAY WITH OCCLUDED FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST TO A 999
MILLIBAR VICINITY OF THE DELMARVA. STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AND
ONSHORE FLOW IS GENERATING SEVERAL BANDS OF MODERATE TO
OCCASIONALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ON NWS DOPPLER RADAR MOSAIC IN ADVANCE
OF THE WARM FRONTAL OCCLUSION. LIGHTNING DETECTION INDICATED STRAY
STROKES ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA AT MOMENT...WITH A MUCH
MORE IMPRESSIVE AREA OF CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN

FLOOD WATCH WERE MADE. WE'LL SEE RAIN TAPER FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST TODAY WITH PASSAGE OF THE FRONT ALONG WITH PARTIAL
CLEARING.

WE'LL SEE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES UNDER WEAK RIDGING TONIGHT BEFORE
THE NEXT IMPULSE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL KEEP
UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE REST OF
WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS IT SLOWLY DRIFTS EAST TO OVER NEW
ENGLAND. EXPECT SEVERAL SHORT WAVES TO ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF
THIS SYSTEM AT TIMES ENHANCING THE SHOWER ACTIVITY.

EXPECT GENERALLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH OVER THE WEEKEND BUT SKIES WILL
REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
