WASHINGTON — Keep an umbrella handy over the next several days.
Quick Forecast:
Tuesday: Cloudy and cooler with showers developing. High: 72.
Tuesday Night: Cloudy and damp with more showers. Low: 61.
Wednesday: Cloudy and remaining cool with showers tapering in the afternoon. High: 66.
Showers continue to develop Tuesday, but they will be fairly light and scattered at the onset, before more widespread shower activity picks up Tuesday afternoon and evening. There may be an isolated moderate to heavy downpour and even a low risk of a rumble of thunder.
The wet weather will continue overnight into Wednesday morning. Plan on a slow morning drive with periods of light to moderate rain. Showers will slowly start to taper off Wednesday afternoon and we should be mainly dry by dinner time. A Weather Watch Alert is in effect on Wednesday, mainly for the morning travel impacts, but there still could be leftover wet roads for the Wednesday evening rush, too. The clouds and showers over the next couple of days will keep temperatures a little unseasonably cool in the mid 60s and low 70s.
