From Friday through the middle of next week, a strong high pressure will provide dry conditions with mostly sunny skies and above average temperatures across the region. By that point, however, things start to get ugly again with potential involvement from the tropics. It's still uncertain exactly how things play out in this time frame, but it looks like we should see tropical/subtropical development in the Gulf of Mexico early next week, with the storm then moving north and into the US while merging with another low pressure near the northern US/southern Canada.
Due to the position of the GOM storm and the Canadian storm, any tropical low pressure would be likely to move inland through the US, somewhere around the Southeast into the western half of the NE or the Ohio Valley, which may keep the heavier rains this time to the west of I-95 if the storm is far west enough, but regardless, such a scenario would pull in a warm, moist and humid air mass, which would be capable of producing widespread rain across the region.
