Cloudy skies, isolated showers and a few pockets of drizzle are on the docket for the region during the evening hours.
Those attending the Washington Commanders-Chicago Bears game at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, should put on their wet-weather gear because there will be “patchy drizzle” with temperatures falling to the 50s with winds coming from the north at around 10 to 20 mph, said Steve Rudin, 7News First Alert meteorologist.
The wet weather could impact the playing conditions.
The conditions mirror what happened Sunday from the coastal storm, as Ocean City, Maryland, received an inch of rainfall with winds gusting 50 mph at the beaches. Lesser rainfall totals occurred in the D.C. metro area, but wind gusts rose to 37 mph.
Tuesday will begin with some lingering showers and breezy conditions, but the wind and the cool will diminish as the day progresses, with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. Clouds will decrease and some sun may appear in the afternoon.
The weather will be better on Wednesday and Thursday as sunshine will be coming to the region.
