Discussion
A significant rain event is in the offing for the DC metro region over the next 24 hours and it should arrive here at mid-day or in the early afternoon. The heaviest rainfall may actually take place in two time periods: this afternoon and then again late tonight. A warm front will edge into the area from the Ohio Valley and low pressure systems will ride along its boundary zone. High pressure will return for Wednesday and Thursday and temperatures should climb to rather hot levels for much of the second half of the week.
