Parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia have been sent frost alerts and freeze warnings by the National Weather Service because of this. People in places like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Atlantic City will even feel cold enough that advisories and warnings are needed in these “heat island” areas.
We’re seeing the boundary bring more on-and-off heavy rain and rumbles to parts of North and South Carolina ahead of this colder airmass. We had heavy rain and thunderstorms yesterday across Tennessee, western South Carolina, and western North Carolina. This is the same area of energy.
Tomorrow, it will rain a lot in eastern North Carolina. Back in northeast Georgia and western South Carolina, there are also a few scattered showers and storms. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, we’ll see all of this energy move toward the coast. It might come back as gusty rain as high pressure pushes everything back.
Today, expect heavy rain and thunderstorms to spread across the area we talked about. There may be strong winds, small hail, and heavy rain for a short time during some storms. But at this time, there are no planned signs of severe weather.
