Well, so far this month hasbeen above normal, with
temperatures just about nearnormal with rainfall, but there
were some heavy thunderstorms,especially during the afternoon,

(00:22):

some highway and street floodingand even some damaging winds
from some heavy thunderstormsthat rumbled through mainly
central portions of New Jersey,southern Pennsylvania, northern
sections of Maryland, delmarva,and even into New York City and
Long Island.
There were some heavy storms aswell.

(00:43):
extends from just to the west ofBoston right through Newark and
down into Trenton and then downinto Baltimore just north of DC
.
The frontal system then goes asa warm front across central and
southern Ohio, illinois andIndiana.
In the meantime, upper levellow pressure systems over
central and south Florida becausing heavy showers and
thunderstorms along thepeninsula, especially in the

(01:05):
east coast during the afternoonand evening hours.
Today, high pressure centeredgenerally across the eastern
tennessee valley but becauseit's so unstable aloft in the
stationary front, close bythunderstorms will be forming

while the high pressure centerjust across alberta and
saskatchewan, canada, alsoseeing lots of rain across
Montana, the Dakota is incentral and northern portions of
Minnesota, while the highpressure center just across

Alberta and Saskatchewan Canada,just starts to dip a little bit
further south and may arrive inthe east sometime this weekend.
But until then the weather eachday is going to be about the
same from DC to Boston.
