Overview

• Morning rain is tapering west to east, with most locations picking up roughly 0.25–1.5 inches and localized higher totals, including 4+ inches reported in the Louisville metro.
• Downpours and a few rumbles of thunder disrupted early commutes in parts of New England and the Mid‑Atlantic before gradual clearing this afternoon.
• Cooler, drier air follows the front with highs mainly in the 50s and 60s, gusty breezes, and the season’s first frost or freeze possible inland Thursday and Friday mornings.
• The rainfall offered welcome drought relief but was not enough to erase deficits for many areas outside the heaviest bands.
• Forecast offices are monitoring an uncertain coastal low that could brush the Mid‑Atlantic and Northeast late Sunday into Monday, while the National Hurricane Center tracks Tropical Storm Jerry with watches posted for parts of the Leeward Islands.
