A cold front passing across the region this evening will bring some cooler temperatures and a continued chance of showers at the coast this evening and tonight. Attention then turns to a powerful upper low which will drop into the southeast U.S. interacting with Hurricane Joaquin. There is increasing confidence in heavy rainfall amounts of 7 to 10 inches or more resulting in potentially dangerous flooding Friday and through the weekend. The same holds true for coastal flooding depending on the track of Joaquin. Everyone across VA, NC and MD need to closely monitor forecasts and prepare for the potential for widespread flooding (inland and coastal) along with strong winds should Joaquin move north towards the mid-Atlantic.
