It was a wet finish to the weekend for much of the I-95 corridor as low pressure produced a light to moderate rainfall from Washington, D.C. to Hartford, CT on Sunday. The rain was a welcome sight for southern New England, while folks from central Jersey to Maryland had to endure another bout of wet weather. And although there will be a few showers and thunderstorms at times this week, it looks like the threat for heavy rain in the Northeast will be relatively low. Before we check the forecast, here is a look at the average high and low temperatures for mid-August. Yes, average temperatures are now on the decline.
| Average High | Average Low | |
| Boston | 80 | 65 |
| Hartford | 83 | 61 |
| New York City | 83 | 68 |
| Philadelphia | 86 | 68 |
| Baltimore | 85 | 65 |
| Washington, DC | 87 | 70 |
After a few showers and strong storms (which may have gusty winds) on Monday with the passage of a cold front, the rest of the work week will be more dry than not. A weak disturbance will swing across the I-95 corridor Tuesday afternoon. This may spark some showers, but any rain will be brief and likely light (less than 0.10"). The same is expected on Wednesday...there may be a few afternoon showers along parts of the I-95 corridor, but most locations will stay rain free. Here is a look at total rainfall expected Monday through Friday (most of which falls Monday and Monday night with the cold front).
