Several days of wetter weather are ahead for the Midwest and East and it could last into the weekend. Widespread flooding and severe weather are not expected, but in some spots, clouds and rain could make you want to spend the whole day inside. You’ll likely be running for the umbrella if you’re in New York, Chicago and Raleigh on at least one day this week. An early-season cold front will likely reinvigorate showers and thunderstorm activity in the East by this weekend.
