Scattered Showers and Storms Make for a Dreary Weekend
It seems like the rain just won’t let up in the forecast for today. With a rating of only 3 out of 10, it looks like we’ll be dealing with more scattered showers and storms throughout the day. The constant rain has many of us saying, “rain, rain, go away” or at least hoping it will come back on a weekday.
According to the forecast, today will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Highs will range from the low to mid-80s. Tonight, there is still a chance of occasional showers and storms with lows in the upper 60s.
The pesky front and developing low-pressure system responsible for the rain chances today and tonight could lead to periods of heavier rain and isolated flooding. While Monday and Tuesday should see less precipitation, there is still a chance of showers and storms. However, rain chances are expected to rise again late Tuesday into early Wednesday.
Today’s weather will start off with patchy fog, and throughout the day, we can expect mostly cloudy skies with some glimpses of sun possible during the afternoon. The showers and thunderstorms today might not have as much potential for severe winds and hail as yesterday, but heavy rain and lightning are still possible. Temperatures will be somewhat cooler, with highs in the low to mid-80s and a medium level of humidity.
For those planning to attend the Commanders game or any outdoor event today, it will be challenging to pinpoint the timing and location of the showers and storms more than a few hours in advance. It’s best to be prepared and hope for the best, as the weather can change quickly. It is recommended to stay updated on the latest weather updates through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Moving into Monday, the weather will improve slightly with partly sunny skies welcoming the start of the workweek. There shouldn’t be as many showers and storms as this weekend, but there is still a possibility of a few, mainly during the afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will remain seasonable with highs in the low to mid-80s.
Tomorrow night, shower chances will diminish, giving way to partly cloudy skies and lows in the mid to upper 60s. Tuesday should be a mostly sunny day with highs in the mid-80s. However, there could be an isolated afternoon shower or storm. As we head into Wednesday, an approaching cold front will bring an increase in shower and storm chances. The clouds and potential rain will limit Wednesday’s highs to the upper 70s and low 80s. The drying trend will likely occur by Wednesday afternoon or evening.
Overall, this weekend’s weather has not been the best, with scattered showers and storms disrupting outdoor plans. While there is some improvement in the forecast for the start of the workweek, it’s always a good idea to stay updated and keep an eye on the changing weather conditions.
