Well, it could be worse, but the D.C. area is going to see a fair share of rain this weekend. Here’s what you need to know.
Soggy conditions already started Friday night in western areas, such as Manassas, Virginia, as well as Warrenton. That band of rain will continue to move north and east, according to 7News First Alert meteorologist Steve Rudin.
The good news: “We’re not expecting at least flooding rains,” Rudin said.
Rain totals could be around an inch by the time Saturday afternoon rolls around, “Right around the lunch time hour,” Rudin said.
After that, there will be some clouds for the rest of the day, but they’ll clear up by Saturday night.
Sunday should be partly cloudy with temperatures back into the 60s — looking more like spring as we head into next week.
