More rain ahead following wet start to the week in DC area

There’s more rain headed to the region over the next few days, but it won’t be as intense as the storms that hit the D.C. area over the holiday weekend.

For Tuesday evening, the National 麻豆官网 Service predicted “numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms” followed by isolated thunderstorms after midnight.

“We do not have a flood watch for the metro area. However, we could be looking at a few showers and heavier downpours as we head through the late evening,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Steve Rudin said, especially west of D.C.

He also said it’s going to be a little cooler Wednesday.

“We’ll drop to the upper 60s to middle 70s by early tomorrow morning,” Rudin said, and rise into the lower 80s later Wednesday.

On your Wednesday commute, watch out for patchy fog and potential morning showers. But there’s only a 30% chance of rain in the morning and afternoon.

Rain chances increase to 70% on Wednesday night. Showers are most likely after midnight, according to the weather service.
