There’s more rain headed to the region over the next few days, but it won’t be as intense as those storms that hit the D.C. area over the holiday weekend.
On Tuesday afternoon, expect mostly cloudy skies with a 50% chance of rain and scattered showers and thunderstorms, according to the National 鶹 Service.
There’s a possibility for “numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms” in the evening followed by isolated thunderstorms after midnight.
“We’re talking the I-81 corridor,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Steve Rudin said. “Our flood watch remains in effect until about midnight tonight. 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.”
Rudin said he believes the D.C. area will be spared from any severe weather, but that there may be a few showers that could bring some heavy rain, especially west of D.C.
He 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.
After that, the temperatures are expected rise into the lower 80s Wednesday.
On your Wednesday commute, you’ll want to watch out for patchy fog and potential morning showers. But there’s only a 30% chance of rain Wednesday morning and afternoon.
Those changes increase Wednesday night with a 70% chance of rain in the evening; showers are most likely after midnight, according to the weather service.
