Residents of the Washington area returning to work after a three-day weekend saw some wet weather this morning, and forecasters say more lies ahead.
The region is facing rain this week due to the remnants of Hurricane Isaac and the fact that warmer and more humid conditions are moving into the area, said Carrie Suffern, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sterling.
Rain is likely Tuesday and Wednesday. The National Weather Service predicts that on Tuesday, thunderstorms are possible between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., and on Wednesday, thunderstorms are possible throughout the day and likely between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Suffern said that localized flash-flooding is possible through Wednesday.
There’s also a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, although forecasters expect each of those days to be partly sunny.
Friday is predicted to be mostly sunny — without the possibility of rain.
