The D.C. region could be seeing scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday after a humid start to the day.
As a result, a flood watch has been issued for the region until midnight as heavy rainfall of up to a half inch could cause localized instances of flash flooding, according to 7News First Alert Meteorologist Mark Peña.
“So definitely pack the rain gear for whatever plans you might have,” Peña said.
Even though the severe threat is low, rumbles of thunder and gusty winds are possible in the stronger storms.
Temperatures will fall to the low to upper 60s.
There will be sunny skies with passing clouds, seasonable temperatures and low humidity on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the 80s.
The nice weather will continue into the last full week of August with sunny skies and slightly cooler than average temperatures Monday. It will be pleasant to go outside due to the low humidity.
It will be more of the same Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and slightly cooler than average temperatures.
Wednesday will be another day of nice weather and seasonable temperatures. Winds will become southerly, bringing in more humidity throughout the day, but staying dry.
