Comment Flood watch for much of the DC area by Tuesday afternoon Update 7:15am: Areas of moderate to heavy rain continue to move into the area this morning, apart from drier with mainly light showers in our southern suburbs. Watch for the possibility of flooding anywhere, but the greatest threat right now is in the western two-thirds of Montgomery County, eastern Frederick County, western Carroll County and northwestern Howard County where a flash flood warning is in effect until 11:30 a.m. due to rainfall from 1 to 1.5 inches per hour. ⚠️A flash flood warning is in effect for much of Montgomery County until 11:30 AM. 🚧If you are approaching a flooded or blocked road, turn around and go the other way. It is never safe to drive or walk through flooded areas. Turn around, don’t drown. ➡️ pic.twitter.com/HbDbRXuvPX — Montgomery Co OEMHS (@ReadyMontgomery) September 6, 2022 A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 5/10: Dark skies with areas of heavy rain and a risk of flooding for the morning commute, improving from the afternoon
Today: Mostly morning rain, some heavy. Highs: 78-84. Tonight: Cloudy, passing rain, thin fog. Low: 65-70. Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, chance of a few showers. High: 75-79.
A slow-moving frontal boundary brings showers, clouds and cooler temperatures to start our shortened work week. While the heaviest rain potential is this morning, we could see light showers at times this afternoon through tomorrow, before falling Thursday into Friday. The weekend looks to start on the brighter side, but the risk of showers may return by Sunday. Today (Tuesday): Morning rain may be heavy at times during the morning commute with possible flooded roads. Mostly cloudy with maybe a few afternoon sun breaks and still a chance of afternoon rain as highs reach the upper 70s to mid 80s with moderate to high humidity (dew points near 70). Rainfall totals through this morning could range from half an inch to two inches, heaviest on the northern and western sides of the area. Weak breeze mainly from the east and northeast. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Cloudy and moderate fog with chance of rain along with formation of fog. Lows in the 65-70s with light northeast winds. Confidence: Medium-High Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest weather updates. Read on for the forecast through the weekend… Tomorrow (Wednesday): Mostly cloudy with highs only in the mid to upper 70s, possibly the coolest day in Washington in almost a month. I could see some light showers. Light northeast winds 5-10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Clouds continue with a slight chance for light rain as lows range from the mid to upper 60s. Confidence: Medium-High Thursday trying to finally escape this weather system. However, some model outputs favor the overcast, overland flow continuing a bit longer. For now, we’ll be leaning toward partly cloudy conditions with highs in the 70s to low 80s and maybe an isolated morning shower. Thursday night may see a few clouds with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Confidence: Low-Medium Friday it finally has sunny skies and lower humidity as highs reach the mid to upper 80s. Mostly clear Friday night with lows again in the lower to mid 60s. Confidence: Moderate The weekend only promises us a better day so far, with saturday looking mostly sunny with comfortable low to mid 80s and relatively lower humidity again. Clouds may increase a bit Saturday night with lows in the 60s. Sunday could be a nicer story, but for now an approaching weather system offers a partly sunny morning, mostly cloudy afternoon and a chance of afternoon to evening showers as highs reach the 80s. Confidence: Low-Medium
