“Another developing situation, is how the coastal disturbance and approaching frontal boundary will interact by mid week,” writes Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “Originally, it was just a few scattered showers we were expecting. But now it seems that the energy along the coast will really enhance the moisture along the frontal boundary… We’ll have to watch this closely… because this would be some much needed rainfall, possibly over 1 inch, for many locations.”
