It just won’t go away.

A stubborn upper area of low pressure is expected to slowly spin through the mid-Atlantic for much of the upcoming week, leading to cool, rainy and overall dreary weather over the next few days. Specifically, North Carolina is in for quite the week of soggy weather, and it could lead to a few pockets of flooding.

There’s a slight chance that the system could become a subtropical system on Tuesday as well, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Here’s a chronological look at the next few days, as the slow-moving low (the big “L” in the maps below) churns through the Carolinas:

By the end of the week, precipitation totals could really add up in parts of the Carolinas. In North Carolina, a widespread two-plus inches of rain are expected, with localized amounts perhaps eclipsing a half-foot.

Heavier rain amounts will also extend north into Virginia and south into South Carolina.

The map below is only through Wednesday, so with additional rainfall likely on both Thursday and Friday, some spots (again, mainly in North Carolina) could well end up with four or more inches of rain this week alone. That may be part of the sliver of good news, though: because the rain is prolonged and it won’t feature much in the way of thunderstorm activity, it should limit the overall flood threat over the next few days.

That said, the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has outlined a few areas in eastern North Carolina for possible flooding on Tuesday and Wednesday, specifically.

All-in-all, it adds up to a lousy forecast for the Carolinas, and specifically, a place like Raleigh will certainly need to use their umbrellas for much of the week ahead. Also, notice how temperatures in Raleigh are expected to stay in the 60s and 70s for highs – about 15-20 degrees below average for mid-June.
