Severe weather in the mid-Atlantic possible; hail as large as 2 inches possible
A front moving eastward from the Midwest will create heavy rain throughout the eastern U.S. on Monday, and there is an enhanced risk of severe weather in the mid-Atlantic, the NWS said.
The weather service warns of excessive rainfall across the region. Parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and North Carolina are expecting heavy downpours, potentially severe weather and flash flooding in urban areas, roads and small streams.
The storms pose a threat for creating 2-inch hail or larger in southwestern Virginia and the western parts of North Carolina and South Carolina.
The Great Basin, Pacific Northwest, Northern California and Northern Rockies can also expect thunderstorms as upper-level impulses and a developing upper-level trough are creating showers expected to last through Tuesday.
