Much needed precipitation is on the way for the Mid-Atlantic region mainly Wednesday into Thursday. At this time, 72hr amounts range from 0.25" to 0.75" with a chance for some locations to receive near 1" across NE PA, northern NJ, and the Catskills region of NY.
Map of 72hr precipitation amount across the Mid-Atlantic ending 7am on Thurs November 21. Dry conditions today, followed by light rain for western and southern portions of the basin late Tuesday. Widespread precipitation expected Wed into Thurs. Could see some snow overnight Wednesday across higher terrain of the Appalachians. Small rises expected on Mid-Atlantic rivers late this week. No flood concerns.
