There’s no sign of sunshine in the D.C. area just yet with more showers, and potentially even blustery storms, in store Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know.
It’s been a wet week and many commuters were soaked heading into work Wednesday morning. Their drive home may be wet, too.
“Showers continue this afternoon, possibly a rumble of thunder or two as well and Northeast winds may gust up to 25 mph,” 7海角社区app First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans said.
An additional 0.1-.25″ of rainfall is expected Wednesday, Evans said.
Temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 60s overnight as the wet weather tapers off.
7海角社区app First Alert Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff told 海角社区app the storm is “beneficial” as it had been several weeks since the D.C. area received decent rain.
Entering Tuesday, the region had only received .02 of an inch of rain in some spots for September, he said.
“Today is kind of a yucky day, but remember, it is much needed rain,” van de Graaff said.
The ongoing storm system is the remnants of a tropical system that spun through the Carolinas earlier in the week.
The storms should drastically weaken by Thursday, but showers remain in the forecast, especially for the first half of the day. Skies will brighten by the afternoon, with decreasing chances of rain.
Expect dry and seasonable conditions to return on Friday. Highs will reach the lower 80s, with a mix of sun, clouds and low humidity.
