Discussion
More rain is headed towards the DC metro region and the heaviest amounts are likely to take place from later this morning into tomorrow morning. Low pressure will form along a stalled out frontal boundary zone and push towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline over the next 24 hours and rain should overspread the area from southwest-to-northeast and strong thunderstorms can be mixed into the picture. Given the recent heavy rainfall, flash flooding will be a serious concern during this upcoming event. Temperatures will remain fairly warm today with highs at or slightly above the 80 degree mark, but stiff NE winds on Saturday – typical of a nor’easter - could confine temperatures to the lower 70's to go along with the rainfall. Much improvement will take place on Sunday as the storm pulls away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
