A stalled front over the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast on Thursday will bring the risk of showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.

Locally heavy rain will be possible with 1 to 2 inches, and with the recent heavy rain from Tropical Storm Isaias with saturated ground, flash flooding will also be a threat.

Some storms that develop could be severe and could also cause gusty winds in the Mid-Atlantic region.
