Discussion
A nearby frontal system tends to weaken today and this will reduce slightly the chances for rainfall; however, scattered PM showers and thunderstorms are still likely in the DC metro region. In fact, any shower or storm that forms later today can produce heavy rainfall given the high moisture content in the lower atmosphere and expected slow movement of any rain cells. The unsettled weather pattern continues through at least the first half of next week with a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms and the late weekend can present an opportunity for a significant rain event.
