Showers Across DC Area for Friday Evening Commute

Up to an inch of rain is possible

Rain returned Friday and is drenching the evening commute. 

Rain started falling early Friday morning, and Storm Team4 says up to an inch of rain is possible. 

Widespread showers will come to an end between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Some showers are still possible until midnight. Winds will start to pick up overnight as skies clear out. Temperatures will fall into the 30s and low 40s overnight.

High pressure will move in for the weekend so it will be dry, but it will also be the coldest weekend so far this season. Wind of 15-30 mph Saturday will make daytime temperatures in the 40s feel like the 30s. Temperatures will plummet into the 20s and low 30s Saturday night ending the growing season across the entire area.

Where the growing season has not officially ended yet — D.C., Arlington, Alexandria and counties east of I-95 — the National Weather Service issued a freeze warning. You’ll want to bring plants in for the winter before Saturday night.

After a cold start Sunday morning, the temperature will reach the 40s, about 10-20 degrees below normal.
