Forecast in detail
An area of low pressure along the Mid-Atlantic coast makes for a showery day in the D.C. area with some periods of heavier rain possible, especially south of D.C., during the afternoon into evening. The clouds and rain hold temperatures in check today, but the next warming trend quickly takes hold as we dry out for the first half of the workweek, with highs in the 60s again by midweek.
Today (Sunday): Showers move in during the morning from south to north around 8 to 11 a.m. A little snow or sleet could mix in during the onset, especially west of D.C., but shouldn’t accumulate. Steadier rain is possible at times early- to midafternoon, especially south of D.C., with a late-afternoon lull possible. Temperatures remain fairly steady in the upper 30s to low 40s throughout the day. It will feel quite chilly with cloudy skies and a bit of a breeze from the northeast. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: Rain could become moderate to heavy at times after 6 p.m. or so and during the evening, before diminishing overnight with lows in the 30s. Overall, rainfall totals could range from as little as 0.25 inches or less heading north of the Beltway to 0.75 inches or more south of town. Confidence: Medium
