The big picture

The system is expected to maintain a broad circulation offshore, with moisture wrapping around the low, supporting possible showers and thunderstorms along portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastline through Wednesday.
Where stronger storms could happen
A non-tropical low pressure offshore of the Carolinas will continue to strengthen while slowly moving northward along the western Atlantic. The system is expected to maintain a broad circulation offshore, with moisture wrapping around the low, supporting possible showers and thunderstorms along portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastline through Wednesday.
Where heavy rain may cause problems
Farther west, an upper-level disturbance and associated areas of low pressure over eastern Pacific will progress southward along the West Coast. Increasing ascent ahead of the disturbance, combined with Pacific moisture and cooling aloft, will support scattered rainfall across portions of the northern California coast on Monday.
Could there be hail?
Forecasters see less than 5 all areas for hail today. That means hail is possible in the highlighted area, but it does not mean every location there will be hit.
